U.K. SUBS
One of the most important bands of the second wave of U.K. punk, the U.K. Subs had been on the scene
since the early days of British punk. But as the first wave of bands began to crumble, the U.K. Subs
just got tougher and faster, and slowly rose to fame as many of their peers were burning out,
finally breaking out in 1979. If anything has been the U.K. Subs' trademark, it's longevity;
vocalist and founder Charlie Harper has kept the group alive for 40 years, and while more
than 75 other people have gone in and out of the lineup over the years, he's kept the beery
rabble-rousing spirit of the U.K. Subs alive and well on the road and in the studio
"ANOTHER KIND OF BLUES"Produced by John McCoy and the U.K. Subs

The U.K. Subs' debut can easily stand alongside any other punk classics released during its heyday. Musically, the Subs are similar to the early Clash, but where the Clash spit out balls of fiery rage, the Subs leaven their bile with sardonic humor. "Tomorrow's Girls" imagines a futuristic Venus who "will be pre-programmed," and the music spits out a hilarious series of mock computer beeps. "Crash Course" promises staid executives that, just by listening to the Subs' music and buying up the right clothes, they, too, can "learn" punk rock. Only the sneeringly sexist "All I Wanna Know" hits a sour note. The music is rooted in the typical punk influences: the New York Dolls, the Velvet Underground, and early Who, but the band adds a twist of classic '60s British R&B groups like the Yardbirds. It's melodic, punchy, and fast, delivering the necessary bite without ever becoming too abrasive or sugary. Another Kind of Blues is an impressive debut from the classic punk era...(AllMusic)
