The Subways to launch tour in support of debut

British alternative rockers The Subways have mapped out a return to North America as they anticipate the February release of their debut album, "Young for Eternity."

The power-pop trio, whose guitar-centered sound places it firmly alongside other garage band revivalists such as The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand, will kick off its second visit to North America with a March 2 appearance in Atlanta. The band played its first-ever US shows in November and December.

Unlike the band's brief outing in late 2005, The Subways' upcoming tour will take them to most parts of the country, hitting small clubs and theaters in 21 cities.

The band--consisting of singer/guitarist Billy Lunn, his younger brother Josh Morgan (drums) and Charlotte Cooper (bass)--formed in 2002. The three were schoolmates until Lunn decided to drop out of school and concentrate on music as a career.

The band first attracted serious attention from the UK music press with a 2004 appearance at the Glastonbury Festival. "Young for Eternity," produced by Ian Broudie (The Coral, The Zutons, I Am Kloot,) hit stores in the band's home country last year.

"We really wanted to create an emotional journey with this record, which is why every song is different," Cooper said in the band's online bio. "I think people's opinion will change about us with every new song they hear and eventually they won't be able to think of us as being any specific style."

"Young for Eternity" is due in US stores on Feb. 14.
