These guys are from my home town - I'm in awe that people as amazing as these guys came from such a shitty, tiny town and made it big. They're truly inspirational.
Dick Lucas rarely gets the credit he deserves. Both for the content of his lyrics, and the outright body of work he has produced. I honestly think he might be clinically manic, but it makes for some god damn real punk rock.
I so agree with Roboimp. The punk scene was not and should not be a fashion show. It has turned that way. I remember when I was in high school and making the scene...there were people from all sides of town, from all upbringings...and from every type of attire. We were all there enjoying the show and the unity in music!
They came to the tiny shithole of St-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada this summer at this bar called the trash, fuckin' rocked the house! We all got to talk to them after the show, really great bunch of guys!
loved these guys live! the room got so packed that every1 is just pushing each other all over the place. apathy was amazing live. i got shoved to the ground and into a fight that was fun!
Dick Lucas should be esteemed...no rock stars, no heroes...FINE. One of the most intelligent and articulate bands and lyricists to ever pick up a mic and say anything.
Excellent band saw them many times around Barnstaple many years ago,Citizen Fish also,i beleive this version is from the recent Subhamans re-formation and consequent tour??
You really understood the concept. Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both.
The success of anarchism is based off of the scale of the anarchist society. If it's 500 anarchists living with enough resources, it can work. If it's a whole country, it won't work. There have been successful anarchist communities before, it's not impossible.
"Nor will they [humans] ever be ready for anarchy." They? You aren't a human then? As to whether humanity will ever be ready for anarchy, weren't there various times in human history when the authorities said we'd never be ready for various social changes? The authorities being monarchies, religions, other forms of dictatorship - 'You need us, you can't cope without us'.
@lexigore I don't know cos I'm now in my still youthful 40s and these guys are HOPE. Lucas is older than me. They're all grown men but boyish and punky as fuck. Yours sincerely, a Captain Sensible fan.
Legendary Anarcho Punk from the Subhumans THIS WEDNESDAY @ the Adam And Eve, Digbeth, Brum. Please support this event- it's a weds, it's cold but you'll soon warm up! Support from Brummy Reggae-Punk warriors Lobster and Oi/punk madness from the Nerks. 7PM Doors, see you there! Please share this post, cheers :)
The Native Americans did not resist, for a while. Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War was without government, and they managed to defeat the Fascists in many major battles.
Humans aren't ready for anarchy? Or is it you guys who say that aren't ready for anarchy. Anarchists seem to be ready for anarchy. It's not like it's something that would need to be prepared for, it's more something that people who want it need to bring about for themselves. Like autonomous cities or regions. xx
You ain't listening hard enough if you're typing! You kids will figure it out someday. Music means a lot, but the other stuff is imaginary; you create it all in your head and sometimes people share a similar idea or disagree on it. You guys want to be in a club, or the people who's thoughts you are worried about do or are. Stand alone.
Anarchy is a stupid ideal inherently flawed. If you listen to the song truly, it's about how the people that called for reform and "anarchy" became the rulers they despised.
explain 'selling out',if you mean get popular and in the charts then thats stupid. If a band keeps their morals and don't Change because of success then it is ok
Nah, better yet just pop down the local record/CD store and pick up a copy of The Day the Country Died and then you can enjoy the whole album. Much better than some app bullshit crap that is so impersonal... and plus prying yourself away from your fuking "smart" phone for an hour or so will probably do you a world of good....
what sort of issues you talking about? because in my view war is greatest problem and americans are fighting fire with fire by warring with places. also the torture should be stopped. heard obama is going to do that so that'll redeem you a bit. economy is a tiny bit fucked as well, something should be done about that. To me those are the main problems facing us. I don't think anything can be done about poverty to be honest. and nothing can be done about enviroment. so war, torture,economy

Anyone remember the Bolton gig at the Wheatsheaf pub? Many years ago now but what a great gig.
This song fuckin' rocks!!! This is what music is all about, message, meaning and something to rock out to.
They came to the tiny shithole of St-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada this summer at this bar called the trash, fuckin' rocked the house! We all got to talk to them after the show, really great bunch of guys!
Yep!
Its was brilliant gig again...

It doesn't get much better than this!

You really understood the concept. Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both.
amazing performance
Saw the Subhumans 1982 at the Wheatsheaf in Bolton. Great gig. Aint Dick lookin older now...lol
I bet you are too.
Real cool punk sound!
Gawed Damm, they sound even better than the Cds! Desptie the age of the singer, he sings as freshly as a young pup would!
The best band to come out of Melksham! Big up Dick & the lads! A1!

B/c Punks Love Fighting It makes them feel alive.
I cant fucking wait to see these guys with Conflict and Restarts in november, islington academy.
Well said.
The Native Americans did not resist, for a while. Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War was without government, and they managed to defeat the Fascists in many major battles.
man i wanna seem them in concert
this i believe is from 2003 if you were still curious
Nice.
Fell asleep during their concert @ 100 Club because being drunk and exhausted. Still a subversive, though ;>)
Can someone please tell me any good books on Anarchism. =) I am really getting into the whole idea and I want to learn every in and out of it. Thanks
It can't be done just yet.
I played this to death 20yrs ago and it sounds just as good today.
Sounds like a very elaborate write ing piece on the wall.

They are actually amazing live eh?
wooooooo!

fuckin badass song
The business.
@tylerrepotter you cant be either mate if you're typing!
Does anyone know what year this is from?
maybe he'll be first against the wall,but that will just me a chance to bash the guy holding'em in the head
um, bout be about in the 70's?
Im confused. Can you explain?
Where ?
Thought about it...what?
explain 'selling out',if you mean get popular and in the charts then thats stupid. If a band keeps their morals and don't Change because of success then it is ok
Stop letting SLC Punk speak for you.
Nah, better yet just pop down the local record/CD store and pick up a copy of The Day the Country Died and then you can enjoy the whole album. Much better than some app bullshit crap that is so impersonal... and plus prying yourself away from your fuking "smart" phone for an hour or so will probably do you a world of good....
why is that?
@lexigore 2004
WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO BRITAIN NOW?
you shat? thanks for telling the internet i guess...
what sort of issues you talking about? because in my view war is greatest problem and americans are fighting fire with fire by warring with places. also the torture should be stopped. heard obama is going to do that so that'll redeem you a bit.
economy is a tiny bit fucked as well, something should be done about that.
To me those are the main problems facing us. I don't think anything can be done about poverty to be honest. and nothing can be done about enviroment. so war, torture,economy
You obviously no nothing of anarchist ideals, as well as anarcho-punk music.
if you have to prove your punk-----your not punk
