„I can safely say they’re one of those rare bands that never lose their spark. Every gig feels like both a celebration and a reunion. If live music is a kind of religion, then this show was a revival meeting- loud, sweaty, joyful salvation through song.“ (Joyzine, Live review Nov 2025)

This year, The Subways are celebrating 20 years in fine fashion with the release of their best of compilation album “When I’m With You” featuring 24 singles & fan favourites alongside a 30-date, many sold out, full European tour. The album also features the brand new single “I Need To Feel You Closer” which ‘pulls no punches without sacrificing the kind of killer hook that The Subways are renowned for’ (Music News). The compilation and tour highlights all they have achieved to-date while also signaling that there is still much, much more to come!

The band have now played 1000+ shows across 40 countries, released 5 studio albums and remain one of the most exciting live bands on the current touring circuit, thrilling crowds with their explosive rock sound and wild stage performances.

Back in 2005, with an average age of just 18, Billy, Charlotte and Josh crashed onto the international music scene with their debut album ‘Young For Eternity’, and their indie/rock-club floor-filling single ‘Rock & Roll Queen’. After early championing by John Peel, the NME proclaimed the band “The sexiest thing to sweep rock n roll off its feet in years!”. With appearances on the American smash teen drama ‘THE OC’ and Guy Ritchie’s London Gangster flick ‘ROCKNROLLA’, as well as placements in a Kate Moss Rimmel Ad, Fifa Street 2, Colin McCrae: DiRT 2, Saint’s Row 2 & Forza Horizon and much, much more has helped make ‘Rock & Roll Queen’ a Spotify Rock Playlist mainstay.

The band have released five albums to date. Their sophomore, ‘All Or Nothing’ (2008), was recorded in LA with heavyweight producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Garbage) and, is “Buoyed with emotional heft and supernova guitar riffs, wired around a maturing song craft” (MOJO). The tracks were written at a time when Billy was battling to save his voice following surgery to remove nodules from his vocal cords. ‘Money & Celebrity’ followed in 2011, produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths/Blur), & was filled with “brilliantly anarchic punk-pop vignettes; each being a big musical finger that sticks it to financial greed, the mediocre mainstream and the fame fetishists” (ROCKSOUND) and included the Radio 1 A-listed single ‘We Don’t Need Money To Have A Good Time’. Their self-titled 4^th album saw the emergence of singer and songwriter Billy Lunn in the role of producer, as he took control of engineering and mixing duties, and was „On Par with the best things they have ever written“ (Q Magazine).

Throughout the 2020 global pandemic, Billy kept himself busy in his newly-established Hertfordshire studio, with Charlotte and Josh in their respective homes, and they remained laser-focused on remotely recording Album 5. Makeshift under-stair vocal booths were quickly constructed! Sadly, in October 2020, after completing drum contributions for the upcoming 5^th album, drummer and founding member Josh Morgan left the band. (Full story here). The Subways quickly added drummer Camille Phillips (previously of The Ramonas) to the band’s lineup. In January 2022, Camille was announced as The Subways’ permanent drummer.

5^th album ‘Uncertain Joys’ (2023) was produced by Billy at his studio & mixed by the Grammy Award winning Adrian Bushby. The album garnered press support from The Independent, NME, Classic Rock Magazine, CLASH and more, with international radio support from Steve Lamacq at BBC 6music & John Kennedy at Radio X, amongst others.

The band are constantly on the road, and it is indeed live onstage where the band hit another level. In 20 years of international touring they have notably supported AC/DC, Foo Fighters & Oasis, appeared on Live at Abbey Road, TOTPs, CDUSA, the Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. As firm summer festival favourites, they have graced the stages on multiple occasions at over 100 international festivals (including Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage & Main Stage performances at Reading & Leeds, Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring, Hurricane, Southside, Lollapalooza, Sziget & Rock En Seine). Whether in front of 100 people or 350,000, the band always deliver a high octane and thoroughly entertaining set.

“We will rock till we drop, as there is nothing more exciting for us than being on tour. The greatest drug in the world is seeing people screaming the words and dancing to the songs you’ve written. To get up onstage and to play rock and roll every day, to visit new towns, new cities, new countries, new continents and to make new friends along the way, it’s the most amazing experience we’ve ever felt!”
