A lot of people love Dick Lucas. One of the most recognizable voices in punk is also the glue that has held Subhumans together after it was initially formed in 1980.

From its 1982 debut, The Day The Country Died, to its last outing, 2019’s Crisis Point, the U.K. band connected the dots between The Clash and Crass all while being the prototype for anarcho-punk that inspired American bands like Neurosis, Queens of the Stone Age, MDC and others.

East Coast sparkle-punk outfit The Iron Roses opens along with Florida’s Except You, fronted by Babefest creator Angela Page who founded Fort Myers DIY venue The Rebel.

Tickets to see Subhumans, The Iron Roses, and Except You at Crowbar in Ybor City on Monday, June 29 are still available and start at $30.45.
