It all started back in Sept 2001, when Ray and JP, who at that time were both in local band Spirit of ’77, decided to form SUBCULTURE.Following some line up changes the band settled with Steve ’lombardo’ on drums, JP- bass/vox, Ray-guitar/vox and Sim niro-vox. The band took part in various gigs (including charity events), environmental protests and also have raised money for orphanage institutions that take care of these children. Subculture also took part in leftist activities such as ’Reclaim the world’, Anti racist concerts and May 1st demostrations. Besides, JP, Ray and Sim were the core members of the Maltese anarchist group AZZJONI POZITTIVA.In 2004 Subculture released their 1st cd album titled, ’From the garage to the street’, which has been well acclaimed with local punks. The musical direction was a blend of anarcho/punk rock.In the begining of 2005, JP and then Steve left the band for personal reasons. Woody Aki replaced JP on bass and Ray Micallef replaced Steve on drums. This line up started work immediately and in about 4 months, 11 new tracks were ready and recorded in June 2006.
