Subhumans are a long-standing punk rock band from the United Kingdom. Originally formed in 1980, they went under the name Subhuman before changing it to Subhumans within their first year together. After breaking up in 1986, the band reformed in 1998 and have been actively touring ever since. The members of Subhumans are also involved in other musical projects such as Citizen Fish and Culture Shock.

With a rich history and a strong presence in the punk rock scene, Subhumans have become an influential force in the genre. Their music is characterized by fast-paced rhythms, politically charged lyrics, and energetic performances that captivate audiences worldwide.

Please note that Subhumans should not be confused with another early Canadian punk band called The Subhumans from Vancouver, British Columbia.

First new music in 12 years! Subhumans are one of the most influential bands from the UK Anarcho-Punk scene of the 80's, filed right alongside Crass and Conflict, and just as relevant today as they were during the darkest days of Thatcher's Britain. Take your choice in how to label them - Punk, UK82, Crusty, etc, - there lies the attraction and consequent reason for their popularity, the band epitomizes non-conformity and connects with people in many different scenes.

Forming in 1980, recording and releasing a series of live and demo cassette tapes on their own Bluurg label, they continued to release music throughout the 80's - building a powerhouse of a back catalog that completely stands the test of time. Their debut LP 'The Day the Country Died' (1983), with its Orwellian influence, is considered by many to be a classic and has sold in excess of 100,000 copies. In 1985 Subhumans broke up, citing the usual musical differences, although had managed to release a third, maybe ironically entitled, LP 'Worlds Apart.' Dick Lucas subsequently joined Culture Shock and then formed political ska-punk band Citizen Fish in 1990, both bands releasing many albums, and still playing today. Subhumans had a couple of reunion shows in the nineties, before a more permanent return for the 21st century the first resulting in the 'Live in a Dive' LP.

The social and political commentary of bands like Subhumans forged a path, along with their contemporaries, for punk to change lives and opinions around the world. Sadly the things they sang about forty years ago are largely just as important now, sometimes more so in an age of Trump and Brexit. With this new album, hear more of what they have to say about the current political climate, the immense imbalance of wealth and power, and the causes they hold near and dear to their hearts.
