Billy on the video...
"I've always been in love with Art Deco, and I felt like BLACK WAX would be the perfect song in which to indulge this love. This comes twinned with the song's constant references to the history of music, and some of our favourite artists and performers of the twentieth century.
The song itself is about gratitude for music, particularly the process of setting a record player going and hearing the abundance of sound that follows from such a device. So much joy from such humble origins. Appreciation for the physical format of the vinyl record has increased dramatically these last few years, so it felt natural to include elements like the gramophone. Alongside this, Joe Gist and his team at Blink Vivid (who pitched, shot, and edited the video) felt it important to highlight the effect that music has on the body. In light of this, we all decided on a live performance video which also features a dancer, the astonishing Erin Pollitt, who physicalised her interpretation of the mood established by the song in the moment of playback. We were all so thrilled to bear witness on-set (and finally on the screen) what she had to express using her body.
We also wanted to take the opportunity to dress up in costume from the Roaring 20s era. I'm personally not one for dressing up (in fact, I tend to strip off for live gigs), so it was quite thrilling to step back into the past with all the period-appropriate clothes and make-up, especially in the beautiful Art Deco setting of the New Mills Art Theatre in Yorkshire, which the production team did a brilliant job of seeking out and shooting.
Ultimately, we're thrilled with the effect of the video, which is a celebration of music, and all it does for us." Billy Lunn
Director Joe Gist, Blink Vivid Video, on the video shoot...
"After first listening to the song it was clear to me that we had to create something that encapsulated the songs passion for the simple joy of listening to music. The challenge here was to create something fun and refreshing that fitted the energy of the track whilst having a classic 1920's aesthetic. Using a dance performance for this felt like a great way of blending the class of the 1920's against the rush that comes with the guitars and drums from the band. Blending the new and the old together is tricky and I think without the right team on board it can fall too far one way or another but I really feel proud of what we achieved and think the team deserves a medal for pulling everything together in the time frame!"

Most underrated band in Britain, one of my favourite live acts ever
They are amazing live!
Absolutely shite.
Awesome❤, great riff and strong song... Never give up Billy
Love it. Great song and love the video to go with it. I really need to get myself back to a The Subways gig
Lyrics:
Tick tock
Borne away now
On the wings
Of a bold sound
You are a half of me
Always the best side
Turn it up, cherie
Here comes my fave line
Spin the vinyl, drop the needle, let me play your song
When I hear your heavenly voice, I believe in God
God is nothing to the melody your falsetto brings
When I'm lonely, always lonely, it's everything
Outside
Another snowstorm
Tell me
I've got to know more
You're the kick I swear, I'm always needing
Smokey's "Tracks of my tears", has got me bleeding
Spin the vinyl, drop the needle, let me play your song
When I hear your heavenly voice, I believe in God
God is nothing to the melody your falsetto brings
When I'm lonely, always lonely, it's everything
Give me sanctuary in the space between my ears
Give me all the spells I need to cast away my fears
Bliss is nothing to the melody your falsetto sings
When I'm lonely, always lonely, it's everything
I feel the pressing, of the black wax
It's a blessing, to hear the multitrack
Gimme Cobain, Annie, Shirley Manson
Hendrix, Fiona Apple, Madonna, Aretha Franklin
Spin the vinyl, drop the needle, let me play your song
When I hear your heavenly voice, I believe in God
God is nothing to the melody your falsetto brings
When I'm lonely, always lonely, it's everything
Give me sanctuary in the space between my ears
Give me all the spells I need to cast away my fears
Bliss is nothing to the melody your falsetto sings
When I'm lonely, always lonely, it's everything
Thank you!!

Oh my then you are in for a treat. Their second record All Or Nothing is brilliant and their self titled album is also raw and fantastic.
