Musical Chairs

Downstairs in “The Doctor’s Tonic” pub, the wannabe gangsters and pimps pranced in their baggy jeans to the finest urban flavas transfixed by the glare of a rainbow of flashing disco lights. Upstairs was just a few turns and stairs away but a very different world. In ‘The Green Room’ The Subways, the UK’s best new band, sewed the best dressed hooks and riffs together and snarled them into rock legend.

Bouncing off the walls, aggressively wrestling with their guitars ensuring that every chord was full of emotional resonance, the chemistry between Billy and Mary was amazing. Each note and tenderly felt lyric has a bittersweet flavour with an irresistible blend of punk sass and bluesy twang punctuated by Josh’s remarkable drumming. They are the band of the future.

Every song was astoundingly overflowing with a brilliant energy, from the mightily powerful “1am” to this year’s sweetest love song, “Rock and Roll Queen,” and Musical Chairs’s new favourite song, “Oh Yeah”. In the alcohol-fuelled world of The Green Room, where it all began for The Subways, their homecoming gig was where I found my home.
