Their music spans a variety of genres, including alternative rock, indie rock, Britpop, and punk rock, showcasing a dynamic blend of hard-hitting guitars and catchy melodies.

How to Sound Like The Subways

The Subways' sound is characterized by gritty, high-energy guitar riffs and punchy bass lines, creating a vibrant and driving sonic landscape. Their music thrives on an aggressive yet melodic edge, often incorporating the overdriven crunch of a Gibson SG through the vintage warmth of a Vox AC30. Billy Lunn's use of the Boss BD-2 Blues Driver adds a layer of distortion that complements the band's raw, garage rock roots. The rhythmic precision of Josh Morgan's drumming underpins their tracks with a relentless energy, while Charlotte Cooper's bass brings a rhythmic agility that balances the band's frenetic pace. Together, these elements forge a sound that is both raucous and anthemic, perfect for capturing the spirit of modern rock rebellion.
