The Chisel

About

The Chisel isn't just playing pub rock; they're smashing the pint glass and using the shards to carve out a brutal, honest portrait of modern Britain. This East London five-piece detonates with a fury that channels the spirit of '77 punk, the working-class grit of early Oi!, and a healthy dose of hard-hitting hardcore. Frontman Cal Graham's raw vocals, delivered with a sneering intensity, are the perfect weapon for the band's sonic assault. Formed in 2020, The Chisel rapidly ascended from local dives to become a force in the UK underground scene. Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut EP, "Deconstructive Surgery," followed by the critically acclaimed "Retaliation" EP. These releases solidified their reputation for uncompromising lyrics and relentless energy. The Chisel's cultural impact stems from their unflinching portrayal of societal anxieties and everyday struggles, resonating deeply with listeners weary of polished pop narratives. They've shared stages with bands like Grade 2 and played crucial roles in revitalizing the UK punk scene. The band is known for their commitment to DIY ethics and their passionate live performances. Following the release of their 2024 LP "What a Fucking Nightmare", The Chisel continues to tour extensively, solidifying their place as one of the most vital and uncompromising voices in contemporary punk.
