Chumbawamba

Musical Group

English music group formed in Leeds in 1982, known for anarchist politics and a stylistic range from punk and folk to pop; best known internationally for the 1997 hit "Tubthumping". The group disbanded in 2012.

Formed in Leeds in 1982; noted for political/anarchist themes; had an international hit with "Tubthumping" (1997); disbanded in 2012. DeBaser reviews cover albums such as WYSIWYG and A Singsong and a Scrap.

DeBaser's reviews of Chumbawamba are mixed, ranging from nostalgic to strongly critical. Reviewers discuss late-career albums (WYSIWYG) as weaker than earlier work and note the band's anarchist politics. The group's mainstream hit 'Tubthumping' remains a recurring reference.

For:Listeners interested in political music, anarcho-punk, folk and 90s pop

 "WYSIWYG" is weak compared to the previous work, but it's not poorly made and sounds good.
