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.

Here comes the hero
At temperature zero
Warming his hands on the crowd.
He says "now that I've changed
I'm exactly the same."
But nobody hears 'cause the cheering's too loud.
Hypocrisy on a massive scale
Hero/cult/revolutionary.
It's all a show.
But now we know
All they want is your money.
Hero lost his conscience, yes.
But now he's getting serious.
"Forget the system, let's have fun."
Hero! Take the money and run!
The heroes are forgotten now.
Floundered on their reputation.
The old elite
Came off the street
And wound up as an institution.
The next generation won't produce
The heroes and the fashion freaks.
There's nothing new
In what we do,
Just commitment and beliefs.
