Circular links[edit]

There's no point linking to pages that redirect back to this article. -- Hoary 12:35, 2005 Apr 2 (UTC)

I added a link to the official purevolume space as their is a blog their and you can listen to their music their. It is official.---guitarjunkie66 15:12, 2006 Feb 3 (UTC)

The Press paragraph[edit]

Unfortunately, some members of the British press, such as The Sun, only seem to notice the band because of Charlotte's excellent dress sense It doesn't sound right to me and it's obviously not NPOV. I don't want to remove it without replacing it, but I can for the life of me think of something that might fit and be NPOV. Anyone have any ideas? Lawful Hippo 21:57, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Discography[edit]

The discography needs to be cleaned up. Young For Eternity should have it's own article.

Member Pages[edit]

Can we make pages for Billy Lunn and Josh Morgan? Even if they're as small as Charlotte's page, anything is better than nothing.

removed negative intro[edit]

The negative introduction seems un-fair and a little untrue. Further, it is completely un-substantiated in the article. --Mr magoo 17:23, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will 20:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)Agreed. Though someone seems keen on making sure that there is some sort of negative intro, disregarding whether it be true or not.Will 20:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Abusive contributions[edit]

Someone with the username Lukedavey is continuously posting points of view and unnecessarily abusive comments. I'll maintain the page for as long as is needed until he stops.


Billy losing his voice[edit]

84.66.55.114 edited out the fact that Billy had lost his voice due to nodules on his vocal chords. The Subways Official Site confirms this. Also, saying simply that he has lost his voice implies that it will be better in a few days. I'll edit it back to saying he's got nodules. Obviously, there may be a good reason for taking this out that I've missed, in which case feel free to correct me! Sven945 14:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Return to Touring[edit]

I put up there that they will return to touring, rather than it is hoped. I don't want anyone to think that I changed it because I'm a teeny fan who is bubbling over with hope. I just changed it because they'll be opening for Taking Back Sunday at the end of June and into July, and I think we can all safely assume that they'll be easing into full touring with that.

Uncommon?[edit]

Why is the lineup and way the band was formed considered 'uncommon'?

I guess because they're all very close, not just as friends and fellow band members but as people away from their profession. I don't think it's all that 'uncommon', though, seeing as many bands have siblings/boyfriends-girlfriends in them. Starla Dear 00:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have edited the article to downplay the strangeness of the lineup. Think it reads a little better now aswell. 195.153.45.54 10:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

indie pop?????[edit]

i completely disagree with this. the subways are indie rock not pop and its a disgrace to call it that. i think it should be changed.

I've read elsewhere, maybe even once on this page that the Subways where a post-grunge/indie-rock band, and listening to their album, Young For Eternity they are clearly not pop and are very grungy in many songs. I've also read on many sites that they are mix of grunge and Britpop. 81.157.244.217 21:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i think it could be fair to class some of their songs under indie pop, though i definitely agree that the post grunge/indie rock should stay. maybe post grunge/indie rock/indie pop? they have songs that do lean into all of those different genres so it is hard to classify them the three of them have said they are fans of hugely varied styles of music, from kylie and basement jaxx to sonic youth and metal bands jackwantstheoneontheright --82.12.111.233 19:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

according to their self-operated "Myspace" page they classify themselves as garage, rock, indie

Stratosuckers[edit]

I've removed the reference to the new album being called "Stratosuckers" until somebody cites a source. Jamesthegill 12:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube link for "This is the club" Video[edit]

I believe that it's fair to leave this link, as the contest required entrants to post the video to their YouTube account Greebowarrior (talk) 12:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Members.[edit]

Does anyone else think each member should get there own article, even if they are short? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.176.176.188 (talk) 18:13, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, no. In my view if would be more beneficial to find citable sources for the main article, which presently has none to speak of. Walk before we can run, so to speak.
