Equal parts
Gap models and scuzz-rock superstars, The Subways are as pretty
as they are punky. Their Sleater-Kinney meets the Pixies-esque
noise is the antidote to the coffee table rot that is set
in the current crop of faceless British bands.
Billy looks and writhes like Craig Nicholls if he were to
swap the drugs for smarties. Switching between frantic chords
and neat hooks , tearing up the stage, he 's cooler than you
and I and he knows it. Billy excels at putting on a show,
aiming kicks at his sibling's drum kit whilst looking like
every frontman should.
Never before
have i had the pleasure of hearing a drunken Scotsman shout
"take your top off love" at a boy. Josh flails,
topless, at his drumkit, like The Muppets' Animal with ADD.
And then there's
Charlotte. Every floppy-fringed guy's ideal woman. With the
voice of a mermaid and the "don't touch me" presence
of a supermodel. All that and, surely not, the songs are the
perfect party soundtrack. Style And Substance? Woah.
