Everyone’s favourite punk rabble-rousers, The Chisel, recently announced their highly anticipated new album, What A F*cking Nightmare, due out February 9th from Pure Noise Records, and today they’re back with another new single, “Those Days.” Recorded by John Atkinson and produced by Jonah Falco (Chubby & The Gang, High Vis, Home Front) What A F*cking Nightmare is a high energy blend of Oi! hooks and hardcore stomp that’s sure to please fans of all things loud and catchy. “Those Days” follows “F*ck ‘Em” and “Cry Your Eyes Out” (which drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Revolver, Alternative Press, and more) offers another livewire dose of catchiness and ferocity.

Emerging from the London punk scene, The Chisel have gained worldwide recognition as one of the most exciting new bands in the genre today. While 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 F*cking Nightmare hones The Chisel into the keenest and most effective version of themselves. 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. This is The Chisel‘s world and we’re just living in it.
The Chisel have also announced worldwide tour dates, including select dates and festivals in the US, lengthy runs in the UK and EU. See full itinerary below.
What A F*cking Nightmare is due out 9th February 2024 via Pure Noise Records.
