Chubby and the Gang are a West London punk troupe comprised of members of various bands associated with the ‘New Wave of British Hardcore’, among them Violent Reaction, Abolition and Big Cheese. The band – helmed by local electrician Charlie Manning – developed a cult following in the UK, largely rooted in the cross-pollinating nature of the punk scene. Speed Kills, the debut full length from London's loudest garagepunk meets pubrock band, came out last October on Partisan Records.
