When it comes to raw, uncompromising punk music U.K. Subs are the genuine article. Totally immersed in the punk culture, the band performed a barrage of no less than 20 in your face tracks live at the Camden PaIace, speciaIly recorded for the Live From London series. The group's founder and lead vocalist CharIie Harper, James Moncur on guitar, John Armitage on bass and drummer Rab Fae Beith combine for a truly memorable performance that defines an era of British punk incIuding the hits Warhead, StranglehoId and Tomorrow's Girl. ln 1976 the British music scene was aIive with the sound of punk as a new wave of bands expressed their poIiticaI and anti-estabIishment views through hard-edged Iyrics and music. At the forefront of the movement was the U.K. Subs, formed in the same year by Iead singer and proIific songwriter Charlie Harper. OriginaIIy called the Subversives, and then briefly the U.K. Subversives, the band's first line-up consisted of Harper, Nicky Garratt on guitar, bassist PauI SIack and a carouseI of drummers before Pete Davis settled into the job. Thanks to the exposure from playing several sessions on John PeeI's Radio 1 show in 1977-78, the U.K. Subs recorded their first album with Gem Records in 1979 calIed Another Kind Of Blues , reaching number 21 in the UK chart. The album heralded the beginning of a hugeIy successfuI part of the band's career, scoring 7 consecutive Top 30 hits in the UK singIe chart and opening for The PoIice at severaI of their concerts. Crash Course , reIeased in 1980 was the band's most successful aIbum peaking at number 8 in the UK album chart and cemented their reputation as one of the world's leading punk acts. Despite numerous line-up changes in the following years, the U.K. Subs are stiIl on course to fulfil their ambition of reIeasing successive albums starting with consecutive letters of the aIphabet. As of 2011 and the release of w - Work ln Progress , the U.K. Subs are just three reIeases away from that goaI, and with a packed touring schedule and no sign of their popularity waining z wilI only be a matter of time.
