What do you get when you mix raging guitars, a pint of lager, and the ghost of a beloved British pub legend? You get CHUB’s latest single, “Microwave Dave 2025! And it’s every bit as chaotic, clever, and unforgettable as it sounds!
CHUB, the punk-metal powerhouse from Eastbourne, have built a reputation on unruly live shows, rowdy humor, and riffs that hit like a wrecking ball. With Microwave Dave 2025, they deliver their most anthemic track yet an all-out tribute to a legendary Wetherspoons regular (real or imaginary) who seems to live on through the band’s sweat-drenched gigs and beer-soaked chants.
Clocking in at just under three and a half minutes, the song kicks off with thrashy guitars and never lets up. Ben’s raw, rasping vocals tear through the mix like a banshee on a mission, while the rhythm section charges ahead with furious, tight energy. It’s messy in just the right way; reckless, but controlled. You can tell this band has sharpened their sound in real venues, sticky floors and all!
The real magic? It’s the storytelling. This isn’t just noise for noise’s sake. CHUB packs every line with cheeky charm and strangely heartfelt nostalgia, making Microwave Dave feel like both a joke and a tribute. It’s British punk through and through: gritty, loud, full of attitude, but never taking itself too seriously. You don’t need to know who Dave is to feel the punch of the chorus. You just know you’re in on something, and it feels great.
By the time the whole crowd is chanting “Na na, God save Microwave Dave,” it’s clear: this isn’t just a song, it’s a moment. The kind of moment you want to see live, where everyone’s jumping, shouting, and forgetting their problems for a couple of minutes.
With a tour coming up and more music on the horizon, CHUB is making serious noise; and Microwave Dave 2025 proves they’re not slowing down. If you’re into punk with a sense of humor, metal with heart, or just a damn good time, this track is absolutely for you!
And finally, long live Dave! Long live CHUB!
