Incendiary teenage punkers rebel by numbers. With singer Billy Lunn's tonsil-lacerating Kurt Cobain howl and his bass-playing girlfriend Charlotte Cooper's line in miniskirts, Welwyn Garden City's Subways are a sweaty-palmed marketing department's idea of two-fingers-to-the-universe rock’n’roll. While not bereft of the odd good tune, the teenage trio’s debut is a trip to the 90s indie-rock wreckers yard – an untidy cut-and-shut of the front end of Nirvana and the back of the Manic Street Preachers. Smells like teen spirit, sounds like old hat. The Subways - Young For Eternity, released 04 July 05 on City Pavement/Warner Brothers.
