We'd imagine that it's only a matter of time before The Subways are playing to gigantic crowds, especially given the monumental level of interest they're encouraging at the moment.

Their irresistible rise remains virtually vertical, and it's not hard to see why; Billy and Mary-Charlotte have a chemistry onstage you could run a cul-de-sac of lighthouses with, and, lawks, those songs! The more they play, the more it feels like they've managed to tap into something ancient, primal and more than a little arcane, bringing bruised blues sensibilities and Britpoppy grit to the table with expandingly unmistakable results, and they've got at least two songs that would feasibly scrabble at the top three at the very least - the cheeky jitter of 'Mary''s been frothed over here before, but that "You are so cool / You are so rock'n'roll" one they've got's more massive still.

Count the days til the signing, you lot...
