The Subways share new song ‘Oi You Boy Bands’ and ‘You Kill My Cool’ video
The Subways have shared a new B-side called ‘Oi You Boy Bands’ along with a video for recent single ‘You Kill My Cool’ – check them both out below.The band announced their return earlier this month with ‘You Kill My Cool’ and the news that their fifth studio album would be out later this year.Along with the new music news, the band also revealed that, following the departure of their founding member and drummer Josh Morgan, Camille Phillips of The Ramonas will be playing drums as a permanent addition to the band’s line-up.“‘You Kill My Cool’ was written at a time when I felt love so strongly that I wanted to be consumed by it, to give myself over to it entirely,” frontman Billy Lunn said of the single.Blake Claridge, director of the video – which you can watch below – added: “I’d always wanted to do something with a perpetual motion, and in the end it was a butchered slider, many clamps, sand bags, a piece of rope, a lot of heavy lifting, a crash mat, and throwing in a Roll Rig. I like to call it the ‘Drop-Cam’ but for insurance purposes I don’t think it would catch on.”Watch The Subways’ ‘You Kill My Cool’ video and hear new B-side ‘Oi You Boy Bands’ below.With a new record coming later this year, the band is set for a run of UK headline tour dates in September and October. Tickets will be available here now.The excursion features appearances at Truck Festival, Standon Calling, High Tide Festival, Gateways Festival and Southsea Victorious.
