SUBHUMANS
- REASON FOR EXISTENCE
Compared to their
début release, Reason For Existence, the second EP by the
Subhumans on Spiderleg Records again, was regretfully an exercise in
treading water. Gone was the manic speed and sheer joy de vivre, and
in its place a more standard Punk guitar sound and a marked cynicism
in the lyrics: "What's your reason for existence? Do you
believe in anything? Or does your lifestyle contradict the words you
write for the songs you sing?"
Inward looking and
on a downer, Dick Lucas appeared to be not the happiest of bunnies:
"Fag? Fag? Fag? Fag? Fag? No... I got cancer."
If she were a fan,
Thatcher may well have been disappointed.
