CHUB turn up the chaos with beer-soaked banger ‘Microwave Dave’

Eastbourne’s loudest export, CHUB, are back to wreak havoc with their newest single ‘Microwave Dave’, a pummelling, tongue-in-cheek punk rager that captures everything ridiculous and raucous about British pub life. Equal parts chaos and camaraderie, this is a song that’s less about a man and more about a moment: sweaty, half-cut, and screaming your lungs out as the pit erupts around you.

Building on the no-holds-barred momentum of past tracks like ‘QUIT’ and ‘Beer Bong Song’, CHUB push the dial even further with ‘Microwave Dave’. It’s a feral blend of skate-punk velocity and thrash grit, imagine NOFX doing shots with Power Trip at a weathered South Coast dive bar. Frontman Ben’s vocals rip through the mix like a pint glass through drywall, while the band’s rhythm section thrashes with breakneck precision, never letting up on the raw, DIY energy that’s quickly become their calling card.

While it might nod to a fictional folk hero from the local Spoons, there’s something distinctly real about the track’s appeal. This is working-class punk mythology at its finest. If you’ve ever stumbled out of a gig drenched in lager and grinning ear to ear, ‘Microwave Dave’ is your anthem.

With their live shows earning cult status and a growing stack of unfiltered bangers, CHUB are building a scene around them. And if ‘Microwave Dave’ is any indication, 2025 is going to be absolute bedlam.
