“Microwave Dave 2025” by Chub kicks in your teeth, hands you a pint, and then drags you into the pit. There’s something hilariously unhinged and strangely heartfelt about this punk-metal banger. From the first filthy riff to the last unhinged scream, this track is pure punk-metal chaos with a side of British wit and Wetherspoons lore. CHUB, the South Coast’s loudest export, channels the spirit of skatepark anarchy and beer-fuelled belligerence in a tribute to their possibly-imaginary, definitely-iconic pub legend—Dave.
The drums punch, and Ben’s raspy, unhinged vocals come tearing through like a pissed-off banshee with a vendetta. “Microwave Dave 2025” is a full-on folklore moment, a beer-drenched tribute to the pub regular who might’ve once tried to heat up soup in a jukebox and called it art. The lyrics are wild, the tone is feral, and the energy is unmatched. Alongside the humor for sloppiness, this track is tight, chaotic, and expertly executed. It’s punk for people who love metal, metal for people who love punk, and chaos for everyone in between.
The storytelling is chaotic-good, delivered with manic energy and tongue-in-cheek charm, like someone smashing pints over their head while reciting epic poetry.
With their South Coast roots, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater vibes, and a healthy disregard for your eardrums, Chub is not here to behave. With a 2025 tour looming and more sonic mayhem in the chamber, Chub is here to grind. Listen to the song on Spotify.
