UK Subs – ‘Work In Progress’ (Captain Oi!/Cherry Red)

UK Subs – ‘Work In Progress’ (Captain Oi!/Cherry Red)

Posted by | Apr 28, 2022 | ,

To this day, UK Subs remain one of the most authentic, enduring and beloved of all the original punk bands, with main man Charlie Harper considered a ‘godfather’ and national treasure of the punk movement these days. They still play great shows, and still put out great records. Of course, one of the things they were known for is going through the alphabet with the album titles, and by 2011 they had got to the letter ‘W’, with ‘Work In Progress’. The album has not been available on vinyl since its original release, so the good people at Cherry Red have rectified that with a welcome vinyl reissue on double 10” gold and silver vinyl.

So, with a slew of upcoming shows at some of the ÜK’s biggest festivals, they couldn’t have timed the release of this EP better!

So, one thing that Jase W has seen pop up in terms of newer bands getting their music out to the wider world, is split EPs, which in itself is an interesting concept where two different bands “share” an EP release on the same label which as far as he can tell, can save on production costs but also helps some cross-genre appeal for audiences who may not have been aware of the other band.
