This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Subhumans''' are an English [[punk rock]] band formed in the [[Warminster]] and [[Melksham]] areas of [[Wiltshire]] in 1980.<ref>((cite web|title=Subhumans|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/subhumans-mn0000582419/biography|publisher=[[AllMusic]]))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://fatwreck.com/band/index/52 |title=Bands: Subhumans |work=[[Fat Wreck Chords]] |url-status=unfit |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140309010929/http://fatwreck.com/band/index/52 |archivedate=9 March 2014 ))</ref> Singer [[Dick Lucas (singer)|Dick Lucas]] had formerly been in another local band, the Mental, and other members had been in The Stupid Humans. The band's musical style is typically classified as [[hardcore punk]] or [[anarcho-punk]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=21144 |title=Subhumans - Internal Riot Review - |work=Sputnikmusic))</ref>

==History==
The band was formed in 1980, guitarist Bruce and drummer Andy were accompanied by original bassist Grant, previously from the band Audio Torture. The band were initially known as Superhumans due to insistence from Bruce's mother, but changed their name to Subhumans when Dick joined the band later the same year. <ref>((cite book |last=Glasper|first=Ian|year=2007|title=The Day the Country Died: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980 to 1984|page=184|publisher=Cherry Red Books|isbn=978-1901447705))</ref> By the end of 1980, drummer Andy had left and was replaced by Trotsky.

The band released a [[Demo (music)|demo]] in 1981. It was heard by members of the band [[Flux of Pink Indians]], after being sent to them by Graham Burnett of the ''New Crimes'' [[fanzine]], and the band were so impressed that they offered Subhumans a record release on their newly founded label [[Spiderleg Records]]. <ref>((cite book |last=Glasper|first=Ian|year=2007|title=The Day the Country Died: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980 to 1984|page=185|publisher=Cherry Red Books|isbn=978-1901447705))</ref> The group's debut [[extended play|EP]], ''[[Demolition War]]'', subsequently appeared on Spiderleg in December 1981.

Subhumans released two more EPs in 1982, ''[[Reasons for Existence]]'' and ''[[Religious Wars (EP)|Religious Wars]]'', as well as founding their own record label, Bluurg Records. Although initially focused on releasing [[Compact Cassette|cassette]] recordings, the label produced its first [[gramophone record|vinyl]] release with the "[[Wessex '82]]" EP, which featured one track each by the Subhumans ("No Thanks"), The Pagans, Organised Chaos and The A-Heads.

The band's first [[LP album|LP]], ''[[The Day The Country Died]]'' was released in 1983 on Spiderleg Records. Generally considered a classic of the anarcho-punk era, it was followed shortly after by the ''[[Evolution (Subhumans EP)|Evolution]]'' EP, which was also the band's first record (bar the "Wessex '82" split) to be released on their own label. The band released ''[[Time Flies... But Aeroplanes Crash]]'' later that same year, a 12" EP consisting of both studio and live tracks - the live tracks taken from an aborted live album. Towards the end of the year, original bassist Grant left the band (shortly before the recording sessions for their second album) and was replaced by Phil of the Pagans. (Bruce Treasure, Andy Gale, Grant Jackson, Trotsky and Phil Bryant all attended Kingdown Comprehensive school in Warminster, England).

The following year, the band released their second album, ''[[From the Cradle to the Grave (album)|From the Cradle to the Grave]]''. The release demonstrated a notable musical development for the band, particularly with the title track - a progressive piece that took up the album's entire second side, and ran for almost 17 minutes. It was followed by one last EP, ''Rats'', in January 1985, and the ''EP-LP'' release - a compilation album comprising the band's first four EPs.

Subhumans broke up at the end of 1985, after recording their third album ''[[Worlds Apart (Subhumans album)|Worlds Apart]]'', with musical differences being cited as the main reason for the split. A final 12" record (1986's ''29:29 Split Vision'') was also recorded and released posthumously, and demonstrated just how far the band's musical leanings had altered from their initial hardcore punk stylings. Lucas subsequently joined [[Culture Shock (band)|Culture Shock]] in 1986 and then formed the political [[ska punk]] band [[Citizen Fish]] in 1990. A second Subhumans compilation album was released the same year (''Time Flies + Rats''), which comprised the two later EPs absent from the ''EP-LP'' release.

Subhumans had a brief reunion for a couple of shows in about 1991, and a more comprehensive return in 1998, which included UK and US concerts. This resulted in a semi-permanent return of the band as a touring entity, including at least two major tours of North America in the twenty-first century – the ''[[Live in a Dive]]'' recording released on [[Fat Wreck Chords]] being a product of the second tour recorded at the Showcase Theatre in Corona, CA.<ref>((Citation|title=Live in a Dive - Subhumans ((!)) Songs, Reviews, Credits ((!)) AllMusic|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/live-in-a-dive-mw0000695982|language=en-us|access-date=2020-07-26))</ref> The band also recorded and released a new EP, ''Unfinished Business'', in 1998, which consists of previously unreleased songs from the band's original incarnation.

Since then, Subhumans have recorded a new album, ''Internal Riot'',<ref>((cite web|title=Internal Riot - Subhumans|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/internal-riot-mw0000484817|publisher=[[AllMusic]]))</ref> and self-released it on Bluurg Records in September 2007. They toured in [[Europe]] throughout 2007, and a month-long U.S. tour began on 24 August that year. They have maintained a live presence ever since.

For nearly a decade, Subhumans continued to make multiple live performances across the UK and the US, and on 13 September 2019, Subhumans released a new album titled ''Crisis Point'',<ref>((cite web|title=Crisis Point - Subhumans|url=https://piratespressrecords.com/subhumans-crisis-point/|publisher=PiratesPress))</ref><ref>((Cite web|title=Crisis Point, by Subhumans|url=https://subhumans.bandcamp.com/album/crisis-point|access-date=2020-07-26|website=Subhumans))</ref> which was the band's first album in 12 years. The album covered several modern-day issues while moving back into the [[anarcho-punk]] genre, with its messages and general punk tune in the song.

==Legacy==
In an interview with [[The Guardian]] in 2016, the band was citied along with a number of other British [[Anarcho-punk]] bands of the early 80s as being an influence to the American [[avant-garde metal]] group [[Neurosis (band)|Neurosis]].<ref name="Deller1">((cite web |last1=Deller |first1=Alex |title=Neurosis: 'Crass were the mother of all bands' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/nov/03/neurosis-crass-bands-anarcho-punk-steve-von-till |website=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=27 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221129004419/https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/nov/03/neurosis-crass-bands-anarcho-punk-steve-von-till |archive-date=29 November 2022 |location=[[Kings Place, London]] |language=British English |date=3 November 2016))</ref>

Subhumans have been covered by acts such as [[Queens of the Stone Age]], [[MDC (band)|MDC]], and [[Overkill (band)|Overkill]].
