Synopsis

Album Description

Internal Riot is Subhumans NEW album, their first full-length of new songs since they reformed nine years ago, and a whole two decades since their last full-length 29:29 Split Vision, recorded just before they split up in 1986. These thirteen songs combine the band's trademarks of dynamic punk tunes and socio-political lyrics as effectively as their previous albums, venturing from straight-up rousing punk to slices of Wire-like tension, Ruts-like rolling basslines, and a whole nine minutes of Never Ending War Song's. Mixing anger, analysis and wit, tackling war, social breakdown, mind-numbing McJobs, sizeism and mosquitoes!? Internal Riot is once again self-released on their own Bluurg Records.

CD Reviews

Not at all like the Subhumans I remember

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Subhumans were one of my favorite bands back in the 80s. Their early material was great British hardcore, and as time went on they quickly matured into a sort of prog punk band. Their sound became layered and complex, and was totally unique. It still is. My favorite records were From the Cradle to the Grave, Rats, and their absolute crowning achievement, Worlds Apart... a true masterpiece of an album.

This record isn't necessarily bad, but it's generic. It sounds like so many bands on Epitaph or Fat Wreck or whatever. I'd like to blame it all on the brick wall production (which I'm *really* getting sick of) but sadly I have to admit it's also due to the material itself. It has none of the character of the best Subhumans records from the past. It's all power chords and straight 4/4 drum beats."
