Punk rabble-rousers The Chisel have released their highly anticipated new album, What A Fucking Nightmare, via Pure Noise Records. Recorded by John Atkinson and produced by Jonah Falco, What A Fucking Nightmare is a high energy blend of Oi! hooks and hardcore stomp that’s sure to please fans of all things loud and catchy. Whilst their sound is rooted in aggression, it’s their ability to pack a melodic punch that’s allowed them to stand out from the pack. Across a whopping 16 tracks, What A Fucking Nightmare hones The Chisel into the keenest and most effective version of themselves.
Vocalist Cal Graham‘s biting-yet-tuneful delivery allows the band to swing from eye-bulging ragers to triumphant singalongs that even the most faint-of-heart rock and roll fan couldn’t help but enjoy, and his bluntly powerful lyrics paint vignettes of everyday frustrations, class divisions, exploitive authority figures and the camaraderie of finding like-minded people in a tumultuous world. The result is a truly essential punk album that grabs the listeners by the head and never lets go.
The Chisel have also announced a lengthy run of US tour dates along with their UK and EU shows. You can view all of the band’s tour dates and purchase tickets here.
