Their history is long and starts in 1978 and their contribution to Punk in Canada is key. Not only played many of the Subhumans in other bands but they also have had one of their members making a step further &#8211; Garry Hannah was part of an early 80&#8217;s Direct Action group that did go all the way including bombing a canadian plant manufacturing parts of the US Cruise Missile. That got him a 10 yr sentence (serving five) and that ended the first part of The Subhumans carrer. Plenty of years later they reformed and continue to play and put out records &#8211; true to their style of punk rock.<\/p>\n<p>After a couple of noticeable singles Incorrect Thoughts was their first release, later put to a wider audience by CD Presents in the US of A in a 1985 re-release (as far as the story goes a bootleg,\u00a0Songs remixed, tracks added and re-ordered, and the cover art changed -all without participation or permission from the band).<\/p>\n<p>The verdict:<\/p>\n<p>1977 \u2013\u00a0<em>no doubt, Hardcore for them is years away!<br \/>\n<\/em>published by a cool lable \u2013\u00a0<em>a local indepdendent lable (as for the Canadian version)<br \/>\n<\/em>found in a cool shop \u2013\u00a0<em>the CAN version never made it to me, little did i know about the &#8220;bootleg&#8221; on CD Presents (but that i have thanks to &#8230; Konneckschen, where else)<br \/>\n<\/em>catching sound<em>\u00a0\u2013 True, great songwriting and inteligent lyrics and not too much focused on speed or &#8220;heavy&#8221; or &#8220;hard&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em>The lyrics \u2013\u00a0<em>the key differentiator with other bands &#8211; a brain and a pen!
