Jersey Festival : The Subways

The first band on was one of the two highlights of the evening for me. The Subways are absolutely awesome, a great live band that can fill the largest of stages with their presence. In fact you could have put them in a massive field and they would still have filled it.

The chemistry between uber rock chick Mary-Charlotte Cooper and potential rock legend Billy Lunn is more than obvious, the boyfriend-girlfriend duo hit the right parts at the right time and really feed off each other's enthusiasm.

There was jumping, running, dancing and a lot of beer but they were all the better for it. Josh Morgan, the bands ever energetic drummer didn’t let the side down either, playing like it was the last gig he would ever play and really meaning every beat.

Chatting to the band afterwards it was obvious these guys really have their heads stuck on, despite the fact that they are possibly one of the biggest live bands around at the moment and in massive demand.

Their music is pure rock with a punk feel, they play it with an energy, that if bottled could revive people from the dead. This is a band that although very young will go a very long way. With songs like "Rock'n'Roll Queen" and "1am" I’m sure we will hear a LOT more from The Subways in the future.
