2024 marked the U.K. Subs’ 47th anniversary of the band and saw Charlie Harper reach his 80th birthday on 25th May! This legendary punk band continues to represent the true spirit of punk rock. Inspired by the Damned at the birth of British Punk, the now equally legendary Charlie Harper formed the Subs out of his then R&B outfit The Marauders, circa summer 1977.

Starting out as The Subversives, the name was shortened to The Subs and then changed to U.K. Subs, whilst early line-ups merged their high-speed R&B sound into punk. With a fabulous line up in place of Charlie Harper, Steve Straughan on guitar, Alvin Gibbs on bass and Stefan Haublein on drums, the U.K. Subs continue to entertain, enlighten and enthuse with blistering recordings as well as their ever-popular enthralling live shows.

Die legendaere Punk Band UK Subs repraesentiert noch immer den wahren Geist des Punkrock. Zur Geburtsstunde des Britischen Punk, inspiriert durch Bands wie "The Damned", gruendete der nun nicht weniger legendaere Charlie Harper 1976 aus seiner damaligen R&B Band "The Marauders" zunächst die Band "The Subversives" , welche dann den Namen auf the Subs verkürzten und sich wiederum in U.K. Subs umbenannten.
