About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. Subhumans are one of the most influential bands from the UK Anarcho-Punk scene of the 80's, filed right alongside Crass and Conflict, and just as relevant today as they were during the darkest days of Thatcher's Britain. Take your choice in how to tag them - Punk, UK82, Crusty, etc, - there lies the attraction and consequent reason for their popularity, the band epitomizes non-conformity and connects with people in many different scenes. Forming in 1980, recording and releasing a series of live and demo cassette tapes on their own Bluurg tag, they continued to music throughout the 80's - building a powerhouse of a back catalog that completely stands the test of time. Their debut LP 'The Day the Country Died' (1983), with it's Orwellian influence, is considered by many to be a classic and has sold in excess of 100,000 copies. In 1985 Subhumans broke up, citing the usual musical differences, although had managed to a third, maybe ironically entitled, LP 'Worlds Apart.' Pirates Press Records was thrilled to this record in 2019 after an extended break between studio albums, and Subhumans embarked on a year of touring in both Europe and North America to support it! The social and political commentary of bands like Subhumans forged a path, along with their contemporaries, for punk to change lives and opinions around the world. Sadly the things they sang about forty years ago are largely just as important now, sometimes more so during the age of Trump and Brexit. We can't wait to hear more of what they have to say about the current political climate, the immense imbalance of wealth and power, and the causes they hold near and dear to their hearts.

Stand Atlantic - Was Here [VINYL LP] UK - Import date 08/30/2024
Rarely when formulating combinations of musicians you would like to hear play together do you get to actually hear it. If Brian Chippendale and Ty Segall made a record, would you want to hear it? If the answer is yes, read on. If the answer is no, it's too bad you ended up canned, suspended in syrup with nothing but other peaches to keep you company. Ty's 2019 album First Taste and the new Lighting Bolt album Sonic Citadel are easily some of the best material either entity has ever released so if these two happened to find themselves in the same recording studio, a fan just might entertain elevated expectation levels. In fact, some might actually show signs of enthusiasm, even excitement at the fact that from July 5th -13th 2018, in the air-conditioning free environs of Ty's home studio, the duo, eventually calling themselves Wasted Shirt, wrecked the joint as thoroughly as you hoped they would. InchPrepare To Be Stoked Dept. The album is exploding euphoria from start to finish. A morphing day-glo rainbow that will bring a smile to your face like if you were on your way to Washington DC for the Million Puppy March. Upon first spin, all boxes are checked and any previously held doubts are completely obliterated. The more you play it, the better it kabongs you upside your head. Hectic doesn't even begin to describe it. Brian and Ty, two mere particles in the grand scheme, collide at high speed, the technicians dive for cover, the reaction is recorded. Mutation is achieved. This is Freedom Rock. Turn up the volume. Hasten your emancipation. Sonic joy awaits.Inch -Henry Rollins
