The Subways have announced that they are to make an appearance in one of CMU's favourite TV programmes, the OC. The band are apparently delighted, not least because they love the show, but also, presumably, because it will be good for their profile, at home and in the US; the show did, after all, kind of break acts like The Killers and Jem and, more recently, Imogen Heap.
