The Subways, "All or Nothing"
Comprised of Billy Lunn (guitar, vocals), Charlotte Cooper (bass, vocals), Josh Morgan (drums), The Subways have released their sophomore album, “All or Nothing.” This album is a follow up to the quietly successful, “Young for Eternity.” Their sound has been labeled as indie-garage-post-punk-revival and while their genre may be a mouthful, this band simply rocks. Originating from the little island that could: England, The Subways have managed to also bring their multi-layered music to US audiences for the past few years. Having played with Oasis, Foo Fighters and at Lollapalooza, The Subways have earned their stripes and a definite fan base. Those who haven’t had the chance to hear The Subways, their new CD is an awesome introduction.
On first listen, this album seems like nothing special but, like some of the greatest albums, “All or Nothing” grows on you quickly and definitely not quietly. What is truly enjoyable about The Subways and “All or Nothing” is that each track moves the album in a different direction but it remains obvious that you are on the same train. What is most surprising, is how well they tackle each track and, in turn, each genre of rock/punk/garage. Billy Lunn’s and Charlotte Cooper’s vocals mesh really well together and on tracks like, Girls & Boys, The Subways bring male and female vocals together in a way that, while not strikingly unique, is definitely cool.
If you like bands that explore the infinite possibilities of a guitar, a bass and drums and aren’t afraid to go beyond the mundane safety most bands seem to prefer, go get this album. If you want to test the waters before a $12.95 splurge, download the tracks, All or Nothing, Kalifornia and Strawberry Blonde.
