Produced by Ian Broudie (The Lightning Seeds), ‘Young For Eternity’ saw The Subways delivering material of the quality you’d expect from seasoned songwriters twice their age, while performing it with the kind of reckless abandon that crackled with the intensity, soul and sexuality that only the exuberance of youth could truly provide. Veering from rambunctious punk thrash to tender acoustic pop through grungy blues-infected dynamos like the addictive top 20 singles, ‘Oh Yeah’ and ‘Rock & Roll Queen’, the latter of which was used in the Kate Moss starring Rimmel adverts, The OC, Guy Richie’s RocknRolla and Die Hard 4, The Subways’ full-bore sonic momentum is fired by raw power riffing and Billy Lunn’s primal rock yelp. Tracks such as ‘Mary’ and ‘No Goodbyes’ also displayed a melodic maturity far beyond the band’s tender years.
