London band The Chisel’s new EP, ‘Come See Me / Not The Only One’ embodies a variety of British punk traditions, brought on by each member’s distinct origin story; Blackpool, Croydon, Acton, Chingford, and Guildford all enter the equation of the group’s ancestry. Their heterogeneous background contributes to what Stereogum called a ‘huge, stompy, singalong-heavy form of punk rock'. Featuring Chubby from Chubby & The Gang on guitar and Johan Falco of Fucked Up behind recording, their latest release certainly garnered them their punk credentials.
"San Francisco’s Spiritual Cramp make nervous, urgent, wiry punk rock, and they’re extremely good at it." - Stereogum
Fatigue "Take the ugly snarl and familiarity of first wave punk, add the blood-thirsty fervor and frostbite of a vacant Cass Corridor warehouse in 1982, and steady it with the gobbing, No-Future confidence of the UK punk sound of that same year, and you end up with a snarling beast similar to this."
