The astounding debut album that established the Subhumans as a genuine force to be reckoned with, ‚The Day The Country Died‘ from 1982 captured both the band’s serious anarcho punk ideology and their irreverent sense of humour. Subhumans are one of the most influential bands from the UK Anarcho-Punk scene of the 80’s, filed right alongside Crass and Conflict, and just as relevant today as they were during the darkest days of Thatcher’s Britain. Take your choice in how to label them – Punk, UK82, Crusty, etc. – therein lies the attraction and consequent reason for their popularity, the band epitomizing non-conformity and connecting with people in many different scenes. This album is an essential piece of history in the world of Punk that Subhumans helped create.
