2026 - Fifty Years of UK Punkro ck!

With 2017 marking the U.K. Subs’ 40th anniversary; this legendary punk band continues to represent the true spirit of punk r ock. Inspired by the Damned at the birth of British Punk, the now equally legendary Charlie Harper formed the Subs out of his then R&B outfit Th e Marauders, circa summer 1977.
Starting out as The Subversives, the na me was shortened to The Subs and then changed to U.K. Subs, whilst early l ine-ups merged their high-speed R&B sound into punk.
October 1977 s aw Charlie joined by Nicky Garratt on guitar, and it was the Harper/Garrat t song writing partnership that would go on to collaborate on the band’s m ost successful record releases. Through 1977 and 1978 the band played show s all over London including the infamous Roxy punk club, building up a fie rcely loyal and sizeable following. Their first ‘recorded’ output was on t he ‘Farewell To The Roxy’ LP.
This bought them to the attention of John Peel who was obviously impressed enough to offer to finance their first s ingle. However, City Records ended up releasing their first brilliant sing le, C.I.D, in September 1978. It became a huge indie number 1 hit. In 1979 , they signed to Gem Records and surprised everyone by becoming one of the most consistently and visibly successful punk bands, with seven consecuti ve UK Top 30 hits between 1979-81 – Stranglehold, Tomorrows Girls, She’s N ot There, Warhead, Teenage, Party In Paris and Keep On Running. They also scored two UK top ten albums – Brand New Age and Crash Course – establishi ng themselves throughout the world with a heavy touring schedule that stil l continues to this day.
Led by the indefatigable 72 years young Charli e Harper – now venerated as the godfather of UK punk – the band has contin ued to improve through various line-ups and record companies.
Still tou ring worldwide, they maintain that true spirit of punk rock continuing to inspire each subsequent generation of fans. There has never been any divis ion of fan and band with the Subs, and Charlie’s unrelenting love of his a udience and music shines through. This is something that galvanized listen ers of Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6music show to vote them as the most respected o f Punk ‘icons’, to win the 2010 Punk World Cup.

2016 saw the eagerly anticipated final album ‘Ziezo’ released – via a fabulously successful Pl edgeMusic campaign – to a crescendo of critical acclaim, as they completed their quest to be the first band to release their official albums alphabe tically A to Z!. The worldwide touring regime has continued apace – includ ing the USA, Europe and Japan as the band continue to entertain and amaze with their powerful live shows.
With a fabulous line up in place of Cha rlie, Steve Straughan on guitar, Alvin Gibbs on bass and Stefan Haublein o n drums, the U.K. Subs continue to entertain, enlighten and enthuse with b listering recordings as well as their ever-popular enthralling live shows.
Like a vintage wine – the U.K. Subs just get better and better.
