Fiery South Coast punks CHUB are an unstoppable force. Fresh off tearing up the new band stage at Bloodstock Festival, the riotous quartet returns with their infectious new single, “Microwave Dave,” a feral, beer-soaked anthem that’s already become a live favourite.
Born out of long-standing friendships, fueled by beer bongs and circle pits, and inspired by the chaos of a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater soundtrack, CHUB emerged in 2019 from the unlikely setting of Eastbourne- a quiet seaside town now home to one of the UK’s most raucous new bands. Featuring Ben (vocals), Kyle (drums), Greg (guitar, vocals), and Zakk (bass, vocals), the band has spent the last few years refining their blistering sound, culminating in a high-energy mix of punk, thrash, and metal mayhem.
After making their festival debut at Rebellion and selling out shows across Brighton’s thriving music scene, CHUB cemented their reputation with a string of hard-hitting singles: “QUIT,” “Beer Bong Song,” and “Carolina Reaper,” all of which amplified their growing profile. A recent tour across the South of England only expanded their rabid fanbase, but it was their riotous set at Bloodstock Festival that proved CHUB is a band on the rise.
Now, with the release of “Microwave Dave,” CHUB delivers a full-throttle tribute to one of their local Wetherspoons regulars, though his backstory might be more dreamt-up than real!
With more singles, videos, and a national tour mapped out for 2025, CHUB’s rowdy ascent is just beginning. “Microwave Dave” is out now.
