Subway Sect is an English punk rock band formed in 1976 by Vic Godard and Robert Symmons. The group, which also included Paul Myers and Paul Packham, was one of the earliest punk bands, founded on the encouragement of Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren. Their first performance took place at London's 100 Club on September 20, 1976. After a series of concerts and lineup changes, Subway Sect released their debut single "Nobody's Scared" in March 1978. Godard dissolved the band in the summer of 1978 as he was disappointed with the other members' musical abilities, pursuing a solo career. Notable releases during Godard's solo period include the albums What's The Matter Boy? (1980) and T.R.O.U.B.L.E. (1986). Subway Sect's unreleased studio album was eventually re-recorded by Godard and released in 2007 as 1978 Now.
