Founded in 1976 by frontman Charlie Harper, early on in their career the U.K. Subs set out to release an album for each letter of the alphabet, finally completing the task in 2016. The first four albums all charted in the UK albums chart – ‘Another Kind Of Blues’ (no.21), ‘Brand New Age’ (no.18), ‘Crash Course’ (No.8) and ‘Diminished Responsibility’ (No.18). Those albums also featured the classic punk UK singles ‘Stranglehold’ (No.26), ‘Tomorrows Girls’ (No.28), ‘She’s Not There’ (No.36), ‘Warhead’ (No.30), ‘Teenage’ (No.32), ‘Party In Paris’ (No.37) and ‘Keep On Runnin’ (No.41)
As well as the albums, the A-Z of the U.K. Subs features all the non-album singles, b-sides and rare compilation tracks. All the albums have been remastered so that the Subs have never looked or sounded better.
‘The A-Z of the U.K. Subs ‘ was made with 16 guitarists, 20 bass players, 22 drummers…and one Vocalist! Charlie Harper - along with long time bassist Alvin Gibbs – still leads the band to this very day and will have
his eagerly anticipated autobiography “An Anarchy Of Demons” published in September 2025 which is sure to result in a blaze of publicity in the both the music press and entertainment sections of the mainstream media.
