The Subways are a terrifically dynamic British indie pop-punk rock trio
who hail from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England. The band
members are: Billy Lunn (guitar/vocals), Charlotte Cooper
(bass/vocals), and Josh Morgan (drums). The group first got together in
the early 2000s while still in their early teens. They initially called
themselves Mustardseed and Platypus before setting on the name the
Subways. The band started out performing at local pubs in and around
London, England. The Subways first gained public attention after they
won the Glastonbury Festival Unsigned Performers Competition in 2004.
In 2005 they released their debut album "Young for Eternity," which
garnered highly favorable reviews from music critics. Their incredibly
catchy and punchy debut single "Oh Yeah" reached #25 on the UK pop
charts in March, 2005. The band's songs have been featured on the
soundtracks to the movies "Live Free or Die Hard," "Die Welle," and
"Charlie Bartlett." The Subways have appeared as musical guests on the
television variety programs "Late Show with David Letterman," "Late
Night with Conan O'Brien," and "The Late Late Show with Craig
Ferguson." Moreover, the band appeared as themselves performing the
songs "Oh Yeah" and "Rock & Roll Queen" on "The Anger Management"
episode of the TV series "The O.C." The Subways performed at the
Lollapalooza music festival on August 4, 2007. In June, 2008 the
Subways released their excellent second album "All or Nothing," which
once again was well reviewed by music critics all over the world.
