The astounding debut album that established the Subhumans as a genuine force to be reckoned with, 'The Day The Country Died' captured both the band's serious anarcho punk ideology and their irreverent sense of humour. It was apparent from the start that here was a band that could not only stimulate your brain but also put a big shit-eating grin on your face as you jumped about to them. And the now-iconic artwork by Nick Lant - probably his most recognisable piece of work for the band - has adorned countless thousands of jackets and T-shirts since. As a staple of the punk scene, ALL of the Subhumans records are still in high demand, and this long overdue repress of this album couldn't be coming at a better time. Subhumans are one of the most influential bands from the UK Anarcho-Punk scene of the 80's, filed right alongside Crass and Conflict, and just as relevant today as they were during the darkest days of Thatcher's Britain.
2023 reissue from Pirates Press Records. Red vinyl version in gatefold jacket.
