Album Notes & Community Reviews

Subhumans' monumental debut is a defining, incredibly sharp document of the British anarcho-punk scene. Driven by complex, highly energetic basslines and Dick Lucas's intelligent, furiously spat socio-political commentary, 'The Day the Country Died' transcends basic hardcore with its remarkable songwriting depth and deeply passionate, aggressive rebellion.
