The final UK Subs alphabet album
bottles the “spirit of our time” into a fantastic and
inspirational brew for those of us old and wise enough not to have
fully grown up.
I Get the same feeling of excitement as I
did as an impressionable youngster when I first heard Another Kind
Of Blues. The 'Subs must have made an impression, because here I am
Thirty Six years later still in their stranglehold, raving about
their latest album. After 26 albums one for each letter of the
alphabet, Charlie Harper has achieved his (possible) Guinness World
Record busting goal, and Ziezo. that's it....
Ziezo is Dutch I believe for that's it
The album cover takes the past and
makes it the present as it resembles and has echoes of the Another
Kind of Blues sleeve. So where do the UK Subs go from here?
It has been a long hard road the Subs
have travelled along, throughout this journey.
If this is to be their last album, well
they've certainly finished up on a high and with some style and
substance. Timeless.
Ska Punk Rock'n'Roll crunching riffs,
powerhouse drumming give a pummelling and pounding power to the songs.
As always lyrically tuned in to the
world around them, musically varied.
It's well produced, well played and
just.... well fucking good! Up there with the best of 'em. Even a
couple of possible fillers are killers, and Banksy has got to be up
there in the top ten of Subs tunes.
Its fitting that this release was
funded by the fans through pledge music
Charlie, Alvin, Jet and Jamie are the
final classic UK Subs line-up from W to Z they have rocked out as
powerfully as any of the previous classics
World domination for the UK Subs,
because they deserve it!
