UK indie punks unveil a triple treat with latest track alongside upcoming album and tour announcements.
Hertfordshire indie punk favourites The Subways are delighted to finally reveal details of their forthcoming fifth studio album. Uncertain Joys is set for release on 13th January 2023 via Alcopop! Records.
To celebrate the news, the band have shared new single, Love Waiting On You.
Frontman Billy Lunn recently commented on the track. “Love Waiting On You is about the tension between desperately wanting to be with the one you desire and yet also relishing the suspense in being kept from them. From the confines of my bed on tour (or in my rooms at uni), I would yearn for the love of my life, waiting for her messages to ping on my phone, hoping to hear her voice at the end of the line, desperate to feel her touch.
“Caught in those moments, there was a joyful pain that made seeing her again unimaginably beautiful. Still, there was something wild and ecstatic about missing her so much.”
Uncertain Joys was recorded and produced by frontman and producer Billy Lunn. It was mixed by the Grammy Award-winning Adrian Bushby (Muse, Foo Fighters, Everything Everything). The album was mastered by Katie Tavini (Mykki Blanco, Arlo Parks, Nadine Shah).
Earlier this spring, The Subways revealed the video for the album’s lead single You Kill My Cool. Alongside the track, the band released single B-side Oi You Boy Bands. The track is a rallying feminist cry against all things pale, male and stale. It features lead vocals from bassist Charlotte Cooper and new drummer/permanent member Camille Phillips (The Ramonas).
September and October UK headline tour dates are on sale now. The Subways will also be appearing at Truck Festival, Standon Calling, Gateways Festival and Southsea Victorious. Tickets HERE.
