FEATURING PUNK ROCK LEGENDS CHARLIE HARPER (U.K. SUBS) AND DEL GREENING (PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES)
A-Side taken from their self-titled debut album! B-Side exclusive to this release!
“When I was a teenager, Charlie Harper was my hero,” admits Del Greening, guitarist from notorious Brighton punks Peter and the Test Tube Babies. “I saw him on Top of the Pops snarling through ‘Stranglehold,’ like a man trying to start a riot on his own, and that was it. I was in. Not long after, I was crushed against the front barrier at Crawley Leisure Centre, watching the UK Subs, half suffocated, probably deaf for three days and loving every second of it.
“I met Charlie a few times over the years,” continues Del. “Always seemed like a decent chap. Then he started turning up at Peter and the Test Tube Babies gigs, not just casually, either. Every time I looked up, there he was, front row, arms folded, watching my hands like a mechanic inspecting a suspicious engine noise. Slightly unnerving, if I’m honest. I kept thinking, what does he want? Should I be playing better? Afterwards, he’d come over. “Love your guitar playing. We should do a project together…”
And so the seed was sown for a beautiful new punk rock partnership. Charlie, as established, is a long-time admirer of Del’s guitar playing and is also based in Brighton. With Del no longer touring with the Test Tubes and Charlie doing ‘slightly’ less gigs with the Subs, they both had time to start something new and fresh. And fresh it certainly was. With no rehearsals, no pre-production and some skeletal song ideas, Del and Charlie, alongside Vicky Smith from the Ramonas on bass and Marley Perez (Charlie's grandson) on drums, they headed to Brighton Road recording studios and got to work in October 2025.
The result was the debut self-titled album by Derik & The Disasters. Fourteen songs that tap into both Charlie and Del’s musical legacies whilst creating a sound that is unique and vibrant, with lyrics that don’t shy away from tackling the many issues facing the world today. ‘New Palestine is taken from the album while ‘False Flags’ is exclusive to this single. Play loud!
