The Subways features Billy Lunn (guitar/vocals), Charlotte Cooper (bass/vocals), and Josh Morgan (drums). The high-spirited alternative rock outfit came together in the suburb of Welwyn, Garden City, in 2002 when the bandmembers were only in their early teens. Lunn took his mother's maiden name as his rock & roll moniker while his younger brother, Josh, stuck with the family name. As kids, both would raid their parent's record collection. Growing up on AC/DC, the Carpenters, T. Rex, the Beatles, and the Ramones was just the start for the brothers Morgan. It wasn't until Lunn saw Oasis perform "Supersonic" on Top of the Pops that he began practicing on his dad's old acoustic guitar, dreaming of a career in music. Also around this time, Lunn met kindred music fan Charlotte Cooper. Both shared a fondness for Nirvana, the Pixies, the Jam, Mudhoney, and the Sex Pistols -- thus Cooper started to learn bass while Morgan took up playing the drums. The trio delivered an energetic, fresh, punk-inspired sound. In 2004, the Subways won the Glastonbury Festival Unsigned Performers Competition. They went from playing pubs in and around London to performing in front of 10,000 people. Prior to the year's end, the Subways began working with producer Ian Broudie (Echo & the Bunnymen, the Coral, Dodgy, I Am Kloot) for the recording of their debut album. Young for Eternity was released in the U.K. in summer 2005. An appearance on Fox's The OC as well as a spot on the Music from The O.C.: Mix 5 compilation followed that fall. Young for Eternity was issued in the States in February 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
