It’s fitting that pissed-off, hyper-British, anarcho-punk band Subhumans is touring in 2016, the only year America has had any interest in UK politics. (I may not fully understand what “Brexit” means, but I’ve seen my fair share of tweets about it from people who also probably don’t fully understand what it means.) Subhumans’ anti-capitalist, anti-religion, class warfare-promoting catalog is still relevant today, especially in light of their home country’s recent political discontent. Staying relevant can be difficult for bands considered foundational in their genre, but Subhumans continue to propagate their political beliefs while embodying the punk ethos year after year.
