LineUp

Formed in Wiltshire, U.K. in 1980, anarchist punk collective Subhumans released five influential albums on their Bluurg label, including The Day the Country Died. Blending political songcraft with experimental punk, the band reunited in 1998 and later released Internal Riot and Crisis Point.
Formed in Tunbridge Wells, England in 1979, the Anti-Nowhere League is a provocative UK punk band known for their biker-gang image and the controversial 1981 B-side So What, which police confiscated for obscenity. They released their debut album, We Are...The League, in 1982. Metallica later famously covered So What and invited frontman Animal to perform it live with them.
Born Steven Williams in Stoke-on-Trent, England, Steve Ignorant co-founded anarcho-punk band Crass in 1977, known for songs like "Do They Owe Us A Living". He extended punk's rebellion and influenced a generation. He has collaborated with Conflict and Current 93. His project Slice of Life explores a more acoustic, contemplative style. He is also an artist and author of "The Rest Is Propaganda".
Ferocious Dog blends Celtic and Gypsy folk, punk, and rock into a politically charged folk-punk sound. Their album The Hope debuted at Number One on the Official UK and Ireland Folk Album Charts. Known for dynamic performances, they released Kleptocracy on Graphite Records.
Sham 69, formed in Hersham, Surrey in 1975, is an English punk rock band known for its raw energy, populist lyrics, and anthemic sing-along choruses. Influential in the Oi! and streetpunk genres, they achieved UK chart success with songs like "If the Kids Are United," "Hurry Up Harry," and "Angels With Dirty Faces". Their albums include "To the Ends of the Earth" and "Black Dog". The band is celebrated for its working-class ethos.
Formed in Manchester in 1976 by Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto, influential punk rock band Buzzcocks combined biting lyrics with hooky melodies. They released the pioneering D.I.Y. EP Spiral Scratch in 1977 and classic albums like Another Music in a Different Kitchen.
