There are two bands with the name Subhumans: 1)Subhumans (UK): The Subhumans are an anarcho-punk band formed in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK in 1979 by Dick Lucas, who had formerly been in local bands including The Mental and Stupid Humans. The band released a demo in 1981 which was heard by members of the band Flux of Pink Indians after being sent to them by Graham Burnett of New Crimes fanzine, who were so impressed that they offered the Subhumans a chance to put out a record on their newly formed Spiderleg label. Shortly afterwards the Subhumans began to release material on their own Bluurg Records label. After the Subhumans split up Lucas formed the bands Culture Shock and Citizen Fish. The Subhumans occasionally reform for live performances, including at least two major tours of North America in the 21st Century, (Live in a Dive is a product of the first) and they continue to command a strong following.

Animal Lyrics

Subhumans

Ever since they put you away
Things haven t been quite the same
They cut off all your lovely hair
And gave you a brand new brain
Sent you to university
'Cos that was the next step up
Studying sociology
They gave you a plastic cup
What happened to you with your brand new brain?
What will they do if they get you again?
Animal! Coming to get you!
Animal! Cos you went insane!
Your new brain was working really well
And they were satisfied
They thought they'd done a miracle
But you had something to hide
They left a bit of your old brain
Stuck inside your skull
That bit screwed up your culture
You became an animal
One night you were drinking
In the student bar
Two pints blew your animal mind
Your brain just went too far
The laughter turned to slaughter
You took all you could get
Now you sit alone in a disco
Smoking cigarettes
