BDO '06: The Subways

Well season 3 of The O.C. kicks off tonight so I've decided to post some stuff from The Subways who have the lead single of The O.C. Mix 5. These UK rockers have been getting a lot of buzz lately and I intend to give the Big Day Out to see if they live up to it. Why don't check these songs out and see how they fair.

The Subways - Rock & Roll Queen
The Subways - Oh Yeah

You can grab Rock & Roll Queen on The O.C. Mix 5 or you can get both tracks from their debut album Young Eternity. I think they're quite decent but they don't really stand out that much compared to all the other bands doing similiar stuff. What really caught my attention was this little track

The Subways - Staring At The Sun

Yep, that's a cover of TV On The Radio's classic Staring At The Sun. It doesn't compare to the original but it's a very nice accoustic mellow rock take on the song. It would make my day if they played it live. Unfortunately I have no idea where this is from. If you're in Perth you might want to head on down to The Subways' gig at The Amplifier on the Saturday before the Big Day Out. Of course, you also might want to check out the Bourgeois Bogan/Modular party instead/as well.
