Song of the Day - We Built this Blog on Rock and Roll

Today's song of the day comes from English rock band The Subways. The Subways have been around for around 9 years and have released three albums. Today's song, Rock 'n' Roll Queen, has been their most successful, peaking 22 in the UK charts. It was also on the popular Fifa Street 2  game.

This is Rock 'n' Roll Queen:

 
So What's So Good?
 
 
That bass riff is infectious from the off, driving the song along. The guitar kicks in as the song begins to pick up and the drums crash in with the chorus. It's well presented and well made, albeit simple.
 
It's simple lyrically but clear and it's certainly catchy and memorable. The vocals of Billy Lunn are very good as well, with strong rock influences but there's still an indie influence on the band.
 
Rock 'n' Roll Queen is a simple, albeit catchy indie anthem. It's probably not going to revolutionise your music taste, but it's a decent song to listen to and enjoy.
