About: UK Subs

One of the last bands standing from Britain's original 1976 punk scene, U.K. Subs built their reputation on relentless touring and a run of UK chart hits that stretched from 'Stranglehold' to 'Crash Course'. Frontman Charlie Harper, now in his eighties, still leads the band on stage.
