The Subways - All Or Nothing

All Or Nothing cover art

The second full-length for the powertrio that features Billy Lunn on guitar and vocals, Charlotte Cooper on bass and vocals, and Josh Morgan on drums. Though they are from Britain, they recorded this album in Los Angeles with the production assistance of Butch Vig, the drummer for Garbage and long-time producer (he's worked with Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Jimmy Eat World, Killdozer, etc.). The result is a much more polished sound than their debut; these songs sound ready for modern rock radio. That could be a good thing for people who didn't like the rawness of their first album, or a bad thing for people who loved the first album. Take your pick, and marvel at the fact that their lead singer must have taken screaming lessons from Dave Grohl.
