Uk Subs

A concert by the British punk band UK Subs, with The Bar Stool Preachers as special guests, at The Robin in Bilston. The show comes as the band announces it is ending its activity after half a century.

UK Subs are a British punk hardcore band formed in London in 1976. Their first album, Another Kind of Blues, came out in 1979, and their label is New Red Archives. Over the decades the band has played a very large number of live shows in venues of many sizes across the world, and it says it has performed gigs in every year since its early days.

The group has now announced that it is calling time on its career after fifty years, passing the torch to the many younger punk bands it has influenced. Across its catalogue it has released an album for nearly every letter of the alphabet, a body of work that reflects its steady, DIY approach to the genre.

The Bar Stool Preachers are the special guests on the bill. The Robin is a venue in Bilston that hosts concerts and shows, and the evening suits anyone who follows British punk rock and wants to see one of its longest-running bands on stage.
