http://www.uksubs.co.uk/
With 2016 marking the U.K. Subs’ 40th anniversary, they are truly unique amongst the original wave of punk bands that emerged circa 1976/77 through havingcontinued to gig every year ever since, clocking up thousands of memorable shows.

Led by the now legendary Charlie Harper, this incredible front man continues to amaze with his indefatigable lust for life, music and the live circuit. They maintain that authentic true spirit of punk rock, and enjoy a fiercely loyal following worldwide. Now 71 years young, Charlie is the sole reason the Subs have yet to split up, leading a band that has continued to thrive and improve through various line-ups.
With the band continuing to blaze their unique trail all over the world into their fifth decade, 2015 saw the band release their critically acclaimed album; ‘Yellow Leader’, as they near their quest to be the first band to release their official albums alphabetically A to Z.

The highlights from the band’s history are too numerous to list in full here, but they are archived on www.uksubstimeandmatter.net – suffice to say their early success of seven consecutive UK Top 40 hits between 1979-81 was testament to their popularity amongst the punk scene then, and with there never having been any division between fan and band, the current line-up, in place for a decade: Charlie, Jet on guitar, Alvin Gibbs on bass and Jamie Oliver on drums, the U.K. Subs continue to entertain, enlighten and enthuse with blistering recordings and enthralling live shows.

33 years after “Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts” TV Smith comes up with an album to rival the urgency, energy and pure punk ethic of his debut. The new masterpiece “Coming In To Land” captures the spirit of 2011 as surely as the Adverts captured the spirit of ’77. With lacerating lyrics and melodies that refuse to leave the head, these twelve brand new songs cast a scorching light on the current state of the world. Recorded in Germany and the UK with a hand-picked and tight-knit network of friends. “Coming In To Land” marks a new career highpoint for TV Smith.Opgericht in 1982 door Bassist Marcel op zijn tienerzolderkamer in de stad Doesburg, Gelderland. Herkomst naam: de dierenarts had de gezinshond (model: tekkel, naam: Ivan) met “gedragsproblemen” (hij beet het bezoek in de neus o.a.) als “Neuroot” gediagnosticeerd.

In eerste instantie Punked in de eerste golf (eerste bezochte concert met 14 jr.was the Clash in 1978 in de Stokvishal Arnhem), maar onder invloed van de 1982 UK golf aan bands zoals Discharge een band begonnen.

De Right is Might EP werd Internationaal geweldig ontvangen en overladen met de meest krankzinnig uitgelaten recensies en geldt tot op de dag van vandaag als een van de beste Euro Hardcore Punk Klassiekers uit de “Golden age of Hardcore”.

In 2012 komt de creatieve spil van de band: Gitarist Edje en Bassist Marcel weer bijeen om een nieuwe Track “Rattrap” op te nemen voor de “Punk”s not Deaf” verzamel LP. In deze line-up neemt Edje de zang voor zijn rekening en is Ares Lux de nieuwe drummer.
