Subhumans – “The Day The Country Died” LP
Rememburrr… Like shitloads of other West Country youth, the nightmare of comprehensive schooling in ’80s britain was made considerably less arduous by owning a clutch of dubbed Subhumans albums for my walkman. They were our Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys… and a lot more fun than Conflict. True UK musical pioneers, influenced by both 70s punk , especially The Ruts, and the fledgling US hardcore scene. And not short of a musical chop or two either. A reissue that is a true replication of the original album – the band’s full length debut. It was recorded over just four days and released in 1983 on Spiderleg Records (the best anarcho bands were on Spiderleg, right?). Complete with Nick Lant’s fabulous pen and ink artwork, a framed copy of which is a few feet above my head as I type this.
