Info

Although the U.K. SUBS WERE part of the original punk movement in England, the band originally started playing as part of the pub rock scene under the name THE MARAUDERS. In 1976, after seeing a couple of punk rock shows at The Roxy, the band decided to become a punk rock band, changing their name at first to THE SUBVERSIVES but later modifying it to the U.K. SUBS. The band consisted of founder Charlie Harper, guitarist Nicky Garratt, bassist Paul Slack, and a drummer who went under the name Rory Lyons. By the time the band recorded their first single, Pete Davies had replaced Lyons and was the band's regular drummer.

Live At The Roxy Club captures the group on the rise in 1977, delivering an intoxicating set of full-throttle winners, with 'Illegal 15' and 'Lady Esquire' sounding better than their subsequent studio recordings. This in-demand first live offering has stood the test of time - a definite must-have for all fans of the band and for lovers of original British punk.
