Formed: Warminster, Wiltshire, England, UK

Former Subhumans leader Dick Lucas delved further into ska, reggae and dub with Culture Shock, all the time retaining that vital punk edge. The same formula means another bunch of worthwhile records loaded with insight and humour; blueprints for a better world that, unfortunately, will go ignored by the great unwashed (ironic, given the way their fans look!). Nige (guitar) was previously in A-Heads. Dick and drummer Jasper Patterson carried on the ska/punk thing with Citizen Fish. In addition to Go Wild the band released two more LPs: Onwards & Upwards (1988) and All The Time! (1989). Another tape, Hot And Sweaty (All Over The Place), contains live stuff from 89 and 90.
