Incredibly, 2010 marked the fifth decade in which the U.K. SUBS had continually graced the Punk Rock scene. Inspired by the Damned at the birth of British Punk, the now equally legendary Charlie Harper formed the Subs out of his then R&B outfit The Marauders, late in 1976.October 1977 saw Charlie joined by Nicky Garratt on guitar, and it was the Harper/Garratt song writing partnership that would go on to collaborate on what is recognised as the bands most revered work. In 1979, they signed to Gem Records via RCA and surprised everyone by becoming one of the most consistently and visibly successful punk bands, with seven consecutive UK Top 30 hits between 1979-81 (Stranglehold, Tomorrows Girls, She's Not There, Warhead, Teenage, Party In Paris and Keep On Running). They also scored two UK top ten albums (Brand New Age and Crash Course), establishing themselves throughout the world with a heavy touring schedule that still continues to this day.
Led by the indefatigable Charlie Harper (now venerated as the godfather of UK punk) the band has continued and thrived, through various line-ups and record companies. Touring worldwide for 30 plus years, they maintain and pioneer the true spirit of punk rock, without the compromise and watering-down that has affected so many of their contemporaries. There has never been any division of fan and band with the Subs, and Charlie’s unrelenting love of his audience and music shines through. Like a vintage wine – the U.K.Subs just get better and better.

TV SMITH ist ein Guter, definitiv. Darum freut es uns immer wieder besonders, ihn im Chelsea begrüßen zu dürfen. Der Musiker, der mit den ADVERTS, dem Album 'Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts" und der Single 'Gary Gilmore's Eyes' Punkgeschichte geschrieben hat, hat sich längst auch als Solo-Künstler als eine der ungebrochen relevantesten Stimmen, die sich weigern Musik auf bloße Unterhaltung (was nicht heißt, dass TV SMITH-Shows nicht unterhaltsam sind, im Gegenteil ...) zu reduzieren, etabliert. Sein neues Album Coming In To Land' hat er unter Mithilfe von Vom Ritchie (Die Toten Hosen), Tim Cross (Adverts) und BB Quattro (Bored Teenagers) eingespielt. Wie er schon oft im Chelsea unter Beweis gestellt hat, sind sein Charisma und seine Bühnen-Strahlkraft voll intakt. Ein unprätentiöser Sympathieträger ist er obendrein.
