My favorite Northwest bands -- 4. The Subhumans


One of 3 Canadian bands to make my list, The Subhumans from Vancouver B.C. were one of the earliest NW punk bands.
The Subhumans were mostly overlooked, even by the punks of their era, because of a more famous UK band of the same name (also a great band).
The Subhumans weren't as fast or loud as some other punk bands, but they had an ear for a great hook. Both of their first two albums are fantastic.
Here is the current myspace for the band. They continue to tour and record new music. All of the songs on this page are new, but sound very similar to the early stuff.
