The Subhumans came from Wiltshire and initially signed to Flux of Pink Indians’ Spiderleg label. They cited their influences as being Crass, The Damned, King Crimson and Frank Zappa!
This 8 track EP from 1983 brings us some tuneful, technically accomplished anarchopunk . There’s even a piano driven song! They sound more like a 1977 band than their crusty contemporaries.
line up:
Dick Lucas - vocals,occasional piano
Grant Jackson - bass
Bruce Treasure - guitar,vocals,occasional drums
Trotsky - drums
The Subhumans, they were great! The used to peform a lot in my (dutch) hometown. Their records weren't for sale in the Low Countries, but thanks to these visits we were able to get our hands on these albums & tapes. My fave's still "from the craddle to the grave". Dick started Citizen Fish & Culture Shock later. "Punks on postcards" was one of my favs! Thanks for these tracks!
