Charlie Manning is Chubby & The Gang. The 30-something-year-old born-and-bred Londoner kicked off the project in 2019 with the intention of blending hardcore punk with the most infectious elements of '70s rock 'n' roll and doo-wop. Charlie brought in a "gang" of rotating instrumentalists performing on the albums "Speed Kills" (2020) and "The Mutt's Nuts" (2021), both released through Partisan Records. Fast forward to now, and for the release of the upcoming album "And Then There Was...," Chubby & The Gang joins long-running hardcore label Flatspot Records.
