UK Subs in London

UK Subs are an English punk rock band formed in London in 1976 by singer Charlie Harper. They became known during the first wave of British punk through songs including “Stranglehold,” “Warhead” and “Teenage,” while albums such as Another Kind of Blues and Brand New Age established their fast, direct sound. A 1980 concert at the Rainbow Theatre was recorded for the live album Crash Course. More than two decades later, the band recorded Live in a Dive at the Showcase Theater in Corona, California, documenting the durable full-band format built around Harper. Their long performance history also includes repeated appearances at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool.
