The Subhumans were part of the British anarcho-punk scene of the early 1980s alongside Conflict, Crass, Rudimentary Peni, Flux of Pink Indians, etc After the usual sequence of angry anthems, that included Demolition War (Spiderleg, 1981), Reason for Existance (Spiderleg, 1982) and Religious Wars (Spiderleg, 1982), they served one of the genre's masterpieces, The Day The Country Died (Spiderleg, 1983), It was followed by a rock opera of sort, From The Cradle To The Grave (Bluurg, 1984).
Vocalist Dick Lucas later formed Culture Shock and eventually (1990) rejoined two Subhumans buddies in the Citizen Fish. The new band abandoned the ultra-radical poses (although one can still detect an understated agitprop mission) in favor of an amusing melange of dub, reggae, ska and thrash. Free Souls In A Trapped Environment (Bluurg, 1991), with Supermarket Song, Wider Than a Postcard (Bluurg, 1992), Flinch (Bluurg, 1994), Millennia Madness (Lookout, 1995), Thirst (Lookout, 1996), with What Charlie Said, Psychological Background Report (Bluurg, 1997), Active Ingredience (Bluurg, 1999), with Habit, and Life Size (Honest Don, 2001), still replete with all sorts of sociopolitical issues, trace one of the most honest careers in ska-punk.
