Josie Faulkner has seen Chubby and the Gang 1 time.

West London's Chubby & the Gang play a uniquely British take on the classic punk sound originally performed by bands such as the Ramones. Bringing elements of punk, pub rock, and Oi! together with a healthy dose of sardonic British humor and politics, the group delivered their frenetically paced debut album, Speed Kills, in 2020. Their sophomore set, Mutt's Nuts, followed in 2021.
