Brand New Age is the second studio album released by English punk band the U.K. Subs. It was released in 1980 on RCA/GEM Records.[2] It is the U.K. Subs' most successful studio recording, reaching number 18 in the UK album charts and staying in the chart for nine weeks.[3]

The album saw the band expand both musically and lyrically, taking on subjects such as government intrusion, violence and religious fundamentalism, terrorism, as well as established Subs themes of alcohol, drugs, motorbikes, girls and youth subcultures.

Brand New Age included two hit singles; "Warhead", warning of the danger of the Cold War and the growing threat of Islamic Jihadism in Afghanistan, and which reached number 30 in the UK singles charts in March 1980; and "Teenage", which reached 32 in the UK charts in May 1980.
