CHALK (Brighton)

On Friday, 11 December 2026, UK Subs will be performing at CHALK in Brighton, celebrating 50 years of punk rock.

What is the background of the UK Subs? The UK Subs are an English punk rock band formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Charlie Harper, who previously sang in Britain's R&B scene. They started as a pub rock group called the Marauders before becoming a punk band after seeing shows at The Roxy.

What kind of music can we expect from the UK Subs? Their sound is fast and raw, and they have been described as pioneers of hardcore punk, specialising in shambolic sub-three-minute bursts of alcohol-driven rock and roll.

What are some of the UK Subs' notable achievements? The band has had several hit singles, including Stranglehold, Warhead, and Tomorrow's Girls, all of which entered the UK Top 40, and their songs have been covered by notable bands such as Guns N' Roses.
