Watch: The Subways' "My Heart Is Pumping..."
15 June 2014

List All News - Back
The Subways are back! Welwyn Garden City's finest return with a special one off summer single "My Heart Is Pumping to a Brand New Beat", due out on 23rd June via the bands own label YFE (Young For Eternity) Records.

The video was created by Steven Mertens, a director and animator based in Los Angeles. Employing the “multi-plane” method first developed by Walt Disney Studios in the 1930s, Steven creates fantastic worlds and abstract stories from cut out paper. Before starting his career in animation, he toured extensively as a session bass player with bands such as The Moldy Peaches, Adam Green, and Here We Go Magic.

Written, produced and mixed by Billy, the single will be released to mark ten years since they won the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition as an unsigned act with an average age of just 17. The new logo and single artwork was designed by a Hungarian fan – who originally contacted the band via Facebook. The band loved the results so much they have asked her to design their next album cover.

Having recently broken new ground by playing South Africa and Russia, their recent UK live return saw a packed-out performance at The Great Escape Festival, headlining Concorde 2 on the Saturday night, their first UK show in almost a year. Alongside Glastonbury, the band recently headlined the Camden Rocks Festival in London, and have a main stage slot at this year's Hurricane / Southside Festival in Germany,
