The Subways

So I borrowed The Subways album off Kat and listened to it. I loved their music, and the songs were good, but I didn't think they could sing. I don't know, something about the lead singer just sounded off. Then I saw them live.

Holy shit.

They rock. Seriously rock. I mean, they were incredible. How they're singing came out sounding so lacksture on the CD I'll never know, because live they are amazing. Despite a few 'you're the best crowd we've had yet's which I didn't really buy, it was awesome. Plenty of stage dives too, and the bassist (Charlotte?) can really rock. The way she plays that guitar is phenominal. Although she didn't seem as confident with the crowd as the main guy, she only uttered a few bits of standard stuff. The lead guy was amazing, he can really sing, and get the crowd going. And when he climbed up onto a large raised platform and just hurled himself into the crowd, it was awesome. Not to mention trying to direct himself crowd surfing, and it just went all horribly wrong and they dropped him! Luckily I wasn't in the pit at the time (I got lumbered protecting stuff, missed the pit, but was close enough to enjoy).

It was an incredible performance though, and I can really see the praise The Subways get is well deserved, especially being live. It was simply incredible. I got two songs recorded on my phone too when I videoed it, came out terribly, but at least I have it!
