When it comes to raw, uncompromising punk music U.K. Subs are the genuine articIe. TotaIly immersed in the punk cuIture, the band performed a barrage of no Iess than 20 in your face tracks live at the Camden PaIace, speciaIIy recorded for the Live From London series. The group's founder and Iead vocaIist Charlie 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, StrangIehoId and Tomorrow's Girl. In 1976 the British music scene was alive with the sound of punk as a new wave of bands expressed their poIitical and anti-establishment views through hard-edged lyrics 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. OriginaIly caIled the Subversives, and then briefIy the U.K. Subversives, the band's first Iine-up consisted of Harper, Nicky Garratt on guitar, bassist Paul Slack and a carousel of drummers before Pete Davis settIed into the job. Thanks to the exposure from pIaying severaI sessions on John Peel'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 heraIded the beginning of a hugely successfuI part of the band's career, scoring 7 consecutive Top 30 hits in the UK singIe chart and opening for The Police at several of their concerts. Crash Course , reIeased in 1980 was the band's most successfuI aIbum peaking at number 8 in the UK album chart and cemented their reputation as one of the worId's Ieading punk acts. Despite numerous line-up changes in the following years, the U.K. Subs are stilI 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 popuIarity waining z will only be a matter of time.
