London, England, GB · 1976–present · active
Uk Subs are one of the long-running names of first-wave British punk, formed in London in 1976 and anchored by vocalist Charlie Harper. Emerging from pub rock and rhythm-and-blues roots, the band quickly accelerated into a tougher punk sound marked by short songs, shouted choruses, and a relentless touring ethic. Their early records, including Another Kind of Blues, Brand New Age, Diminished Responsibility, and Endangered Species, helped define a rawer second phase of British punk that fed directly into street punk and hardcore. The band became known not only for songs such as "Stranglehold," "Warhead," and "Riot," but also for a discography that famously moved through alphabetically titled albums across decades. Lineups changed often, yet Harper's voice and the band's direct, high-energy approach kept the identity intact. Uk Subs' history is unusually durable: a working punk band that carried the urgency of 1977 into later eras without smoothing away its rough edges.
Dubrovnik, HR · 2025–present · active

Warsaw, PL · 2019–present · active
