Also around this time, Lunn met kindred music fan Charlotte Cooper. Both shared a fondness for Nirvana, the Pixies, the Jam, Mudhoney, and the Sex Pistols -- thus Cooper started to learn bass while Morgan took up playing the drums. The trio delivered an energetic, fresh, punk-inspired sound. In 2004, the Subways won the Glastonbury Festival Unsigned Performers Competition. They went from playing pubs in and around London to performing in front of 10,000 people. Prior to the years end, the Subways began working with producer Ian Broudie (Echo & the Bunnymen, the Coral, Dodgy, I Am Kloot) for the recording of their debut album. Young for Eternity was released in the U.K. in summer 2005. An appearance on Foxs The OC as well as a spot on the Music from The O.C.: Mix 5 compilation followed that fall. Young for Eternity was issued in the States in February 2006.
