THE MUTT'S NUTS [LP] (3D GLASSES TO VIEW IN3D MUTT' ON INSIDE, 20 PAGE LYRIC COMIC BOOK, GATEFOLD)

West London five-piece Chubby and the Gang are balanced by two energies on The Mutt's Nuts 'a casual 'fuckit' on one side, an active 'fuck off' on the other. For every moment of punk imperfection, there's an intricate flurry of detail. For every enraged statement about modern life as war, there's a lyric like 'Hello heartbreak, my old friend' that catches you off guard. Made up of musicians from across the consistently thriving and criminally overlooked UK hardcore scene (ft. The Chisel, Big Cheese and more), Chubby and the Gang marinate its characteristic speed and sick-of-it-all energy in a mixture of 50s pop sounds. The result is a prickly take on the older, more melodic genres that punk derives from, chewing them up and spitting them out into something mangled but revitalized. ?A1) The Mutt's Nuts A2) It's Me Who'll Pay A3) Coming Up Tough A4) On The Meter A5) Beat That Drum A6) Pressure A7) Take Me Home To London B1) Life On The Bayou B2) White Rags B3) Overachiever B4) Someone's Gunna Die B5) Getting Beat Again (Eppu Normaali) B6) Life's Lemons B7) Lightning Don't Strike Twice B8) I Hate The Radio
