The U.K. Subs were part of the original punk rock movement in England that formed in 1976, with the initial name of the Subversives. The U.K. Subs founder, Charlie Harper selected guitarist Nicky Garratt, bassist Paul Slack, and various drummers (eventually Pete Davis became fairly stable) under the initial name "U.K. Subversives". The London based band's early line-up changed frequently.

Their style combined the energy of punk and the rock and roll edge of the then thriving pub rock scene. The U.K. Subs  had some hit singles such as "Stranglehold", "Warhead", "I Live in a Car", and "Tomorrow's Girls", with several of their songs managing to enter the United Kingdom's Top Forty.

The U.K. Subs recorded a set at the Roxy (a punk club), which was issued in 1980 as Live Kicks. The U.K. Subs biggest selling album came with 1980's Crash Course. The U.K. Subs played several John Peel sessions in 1977 and 1978 for BBC Radio 1, and then The U.K. Subs signed a recording contract with GEM Records. Under GEM, the U.K. Subs recorded an album in 1979 called Another Kind of Blues. The U.K. Subs also played a few opening gigs for The Police. In the 1990s, The U.K. Subs released various singles collections.

With the arrival of new The U.K. Subs bassist Alvin Gibbs and drummer Steve Roberts in the early 1980s, the songs took on a more heavy metal-influenced edge. In 1991, the U.K. Subs also had Lars Frederiksen (now of Rancid) on guitar for a 30 date UK tour. Decades after the disbanding of other late-1970s punk groups such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash, the U.K. Subs continue to perform
