UK Subs - Brand New Age

[nutsaboutamber]

Obviously everybody knows Warhead - rubbish compared to the single version by the way- and Emotional Blackmail - but I keep being drawn back to another song, never a single, called Public Servant which on vinyl and through a Cam Audio amp and Wharfedale speakers, just sounds sublime. On an album which, let's be honest, is otherwise a poor production. As a work not as good as the debut effort but it remains high in my cabinet under U(!) for sure.

Good shout, Public Servant is a great track but on a similar theme politics wise I think I prefer Organised Crime.

There's a man who takes the piss out of you
But the biggest thief by far
He's a government official

Are UK Subs still worth seeing live? I have somehow managed not to see them for over 40 years now, but they are playing at my local venue in a couple of weeks, so I'm thinking I really ought to go...

Charlie Harper must be about 80 by now! Haven’t seen them for many years either but they were always absolutely brilliant live, especially when Nicky Garrett was on guitar.

Saw the Subs last night at the Portland Arms.

Charle Harper 77 years old and still rocking it.

Played all the tracks from Brand New Age for the 40th Anniversary although strictly speaking that was last year!

Saw a few faces that frequent the Abbey not sure if any are on here?

Of course they played the Xmas favourite ...... Santa Claus you CU#T where's my FUC#*NG bike
