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...
