The Subways: 20 Years of 'Young For Eternity' & What's Next

In Episode #240 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Billy Lunn and Charlotte Cooper, from The Subways, to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album Young For Eternity and the release of their new compilation album When I’m With You.

Formed in the early 2000s, The Subways became one of the UK’s most exciting indie rock bands, bursting onto the scene in 2005 with the release of Young For Eternity and their breakout hit “Rock & Roll Queen.” The track went on to feature in The OC, Guy Ritchie’s film RocknRolla, and on the FIFA soundtrack — catapulting the band to an international audience.

Now, two decades later, The Subways are revisiting their roots, re-recording “Rock & Roll Queen” with fresh energy, and bringing together fan favourites, deep cuts, and two brand new songs — “I Need To Feel You Closer” and “Passenger’s Side” — on their 2025 compilation When I’m With You.

In this in-depth interview, The Subways discuss: The process of re-recording “Rock & Roll Queen” for its 20th anniversary, Memories from the early days of Young For Eternity and their rise to fame, How drummer Camille Phillips has brought a new dynamic to the band’s sound, Career-defining gigs — from basement clubs to Glastonbury Festival, What fans can expect from The Subways For Eternity Tour 2025.

If you’re a fan of indie rock anthems, 2000s British guitar bands, or the raw live energy of The Subways, this episode is packed with nostalgia, behind-the-scenes stories, and an exciting look at what’s next for the band.

Listen to The Subways celebrate 20 years of Young For Eternity and discuss When I’m With You on XS Noize Podcast #240.
