Subhumans are a seminal British punk band that originated from the small town of Warminster, Wiltshire in 1980. The group formed during the first wave of British punk, characterized by blistering tracks, anti-establishment lyrics, and a fiercely DIY ethos. Their music crosses the bounds of punk with elements of ska, reggae, and post-punk, often marked by the distinctive, politically charged vocal style of frontman Dick Lucas. The band's original run was between 1980 and 1985 during which they released a series of influential records that left an indelible mark on the UK punk scene.
After disbanding in 1985, Subhumans reformed in the late 1990s and have continued to perform and record. Albums like "Crisis Point" (2019) and "Internal Riot" (2007) showcase their relentless energy and commitment to social and political issues, keeping the band relevant and revered in the global punk community. Their earlier works, such as "The Day the Country Died" (1983) and "From the Cradle to the Grave" (1984), remain essential listening for punk aficionados, chronicling the raw intensity and gritty realism that defined a generation. Even as punk has evolved, Subhumans maintain their status as icons and agitators, continuing to inspire with their defiance and uncompromising sound.
