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. Starting out as The Subversives, the name was shortened to The Subs and then changed to U.K. Subs, with the prefix taken from the first Sex Pistols single Anarchy In The U.K. 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. Through 1977 and 1978 the band played shows all over London including the infamous Roxy punk club, building up a fiercely loyal and sizeable following. Their first 'recorded' output was on the Farewell To The Roxy LP. This bought them to the attention of John Peel who was obviously impressed enough to offer to finance their first single. However, City Records ended up releasing their first brilliant single, C.I.D, in September 1978. It became a huge indie number 1 hit. 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. 2010 saw the band record their 'W' album, as they neared their quest to be the first band to release their official albums alphabetically A to Z! 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. This is something that galvanized listeners of Steve Lamacq's BBC 6music show to hoist the band high as the most respected of Punk 'icons', to win the 2010 Punk World Cup. 2011 saw the eagerly anticipated new album WORK IN PROGRESS released on Captain Oi! Records to a crescendo of critical acclaim. The year is already nearly fully booked with dates worldwide as the band continues to entertain and amaze with their powerful live shows. Like a vintage wine – the U.K. Subs just get better and better.

TV Smith, former frontman and songwriter of seminal UK punk band The Adverts, is seen as a cult legend by many fans of Britain’s late 1970s New Wave scene. 
Tim Smith grew up in Devon where he developed an interest in poetry and, later - influenced by the records of Bowie and Roxy Music - songwriting. At art college, he met girlfriend and fellow Iggy and the Stooges devotee Gaye Black and in 1976 the couple moved to London after reading about the Sex Pistols in the music press with the aim of starting their own punk band. 
Upon arrival, they changed their names to TV Smith and Gaye Advert respectively, recruited guitarist Howard Pickup (born Boak) and drummer Laurie Driver (born Muscat) and formed The Adverts. 
The band debuted at Andy Czezowski’s Roxy in Covent Garden in early 1977 before signing to Stiff Records and releasing their debut single “One Chord Wonders”, one of the era’s signature anthems and a response to ongoing criticism of the band’s musical inexperience and alleged ineptitude. The single received positive reviews and became an underground punk hit (partly due to the now-iconic portrait of Gaye Advert that adorned its sleeve). 
The band found brief chart success in late 1977/early 1978 with subsequent singles “Gary Gilmore’s Eyes” and “No Time To Be 21” which were followed by the release of their debut LP “Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts”. The album performed disappointingly despite positive reviews but is now considered by many to be one of the best releases of the New Wave.
