The Subways were playing Glastonbury before they were even signed and launched into a rapid rise with hits including 'Rock & Roll Queen' and 'Oh Yeah' propelling them to huge heights. After a few years away following their fourth album, they've been back on tour and are now recording a new album during the coronavirus lockdown.



Lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Billy Lunn talks The Boys in the Band Podcast through the band's thrilling story - from filming with Hollywood stars in LA and working with A-list producers to overcoming a relationship spilt and a potentially career-ending vocal problem. 

 

Billy serves up a series of fantastic stories from the world of rock, deconstructs the prejudices in the industry towards bandmate Charlotte Cooper, and explains why he ended up taking time out to study English Lit at Cambridge University. 



Plus, there are details about The Subways new album, which Billy can't wait to share with the band's fans...
