Speed Kills

by Chubby and The Gang

supported by

Torsten Von Nerdbot One of the best post 2000s punk albums. Fucking great.

buttz the beat, the beat, THE BEAT

Cribs Relentless guitars, a wall of bass and drums, Hammond organ, and shouty vocals making this a bar brawl of a record, all spilled pints and smashed chairs and bloody noses.

Hewhowalkswithacane Now this is a record i kinda waited for. Absolutely kicking asses! Favorite track is All along the Uxbridge Road.

Jeffamphetamines Got five ass pinches from me.

Jim Martin Murmurs of The Damned fused into contemporary street rock. I spilled my beer! Full on ass kicking LP!!

about

Please note this title is no longer available through Static Shock and has been reissued by Partisan Records.

The debut full length from London's loudest. Wall to wall speedy punk bordering on the recklessness of Motorhead, the single mindedness of the Kids, the streetwise panache of Cockney Rejects, and the occasional curveball pasted in to keep us all surprised. This LP is timeless vernacular perfection peppered with misleadingly obvious displays of brashness aching their way into the hallways of surprising musical channels. "Can't Tell Me Nothing" could have been on a Rip Off Records 7" from 20 years ago, "Trouble" - a love song to Chubby's one true muse: being naughty - is like an ironed and overdriven Wreckless Eric, "Grenfell Forever" is taken from the empty glass of the Billy Bragg back catalogue. All that alongside the sneering eternity of "All Along the Uxbridge Road," the Hammond Organ smeared "Bruce Grove Bullies" -- it will all have you reaching for your London A to Z and trying your hardest not to spill your pint.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
