UK Subs
Often derided by the Stalinist punk hardliners,
The UK Subs of Stranglehold, Tomorrow's Girls and
C.I.D. made a brash vibrant racket, and in Charlie
Harper they had a cuddly punk Lionel Blair for the '
70s.
Peel Sessions
May 1997
Q Magazine
The Peel Sessions capture his band in its crinkly
infancy, the songs rough-and-ready variations on the well
-thumbed three-chord punk attack, terrace-chant vocals
spinning headlong to the end of each chorus in a
hyperventilating rush.
The band's formative R&B
background occasionally peeps over the punk parapets,
but mainly this is classic second division English punk rock.
