Chubby and the Gang - The Mutt’s Nuts (2021) Hi-Res

The West London quintet, Chubby and the Gang, balances with two energies. One is casual "f..k it" and the other is active "f..k off". If you think there is punk imperfections, there are complex details. There are some surprising lyrics such as "Hello heartbreak, my old friend" for the angry remark that modern life is a war. Chubby and the Gang is made up of musicians from the ever-prosperous and overlooked UK hardcore scene (The Chisel, Big Cheese, etc.), with its distinctive sense of speed and morbid energy popped in the '50s.・ I am immersed in the sound mix. As a result, they bitterly criticize the older, more melodic genres from which punk was derived, chewing them up and spitting them out, destroying and revitalizing something.

The band, headed by Charlie Manning Walker, aka Chubby Charles, and backed by Tom ‘Razor’ Hardwick, Meg Brooks Mills, Ethan Stahl, and Joe McMahon (aka the Gang), speaks of modern London.
