 | | But if Chumbawamba's earlier records had any message, it was that they couldn't be considered purely as music, that the band's actions were inextricably tied to their art. | | | Their first album was an attack on "Live Aid" titled Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records; two years later, they stuck a tongue out at diehard punks by recording an album of a cappella folk songs. | | | That reputation developed in earnest with their earliest records: competent, abrasive art punk, along the lines of what the Ex were doing around the same time, with lyrics that mostly concerned the counter-revolutionary treachery of the music business. |

| | CHUMBAWAMBA have never been constrained by the old cliches of what a band is supposed to be and do. | | | Until CHUMBAWAMBA signed with OLI, the band were to some extent, outside the music industry. | | | CHUMBAWAMBA signed with EMI Germany in May. The anthemic TUBTHUMPER single is due out in July, to be followed in September by the album TUBTHUMPING. |

| | Chumbawamba: Live at Irving Plaza, 12/20/97 (NY Rock) |
| | But what a song it is, and much to the surprise of the new-comers out there, who have only discovered Chumbawamba this year due to their much deserved and rabid success of “Tubthumping,&; their collection of other songs is impressive. | | | Despite over 15 years of crafting finely orchestrated, politically charged and anarchist-tinged pop-rock anthems, without so much as a glimpse from the mainstream media, Chumbawamba is now the sonic equivalent of The Full Monty: the little band that could, whose frantic and rousing live show is as fun as the music they play. | | | As with their attire, Chumbawamba seamlessly changed complex arrangements, and lead singers for every track. |

| | Chumbawamba are popular now, after years of releasing the hardline according to albums like Never Mind the Ballots... | | | Time was when an obvious single used to be placed as the first track on an album, to make sure that radio programmers and consumers didn't miss an artist's most chart-worthy tune. | | | But no, Chumbawamba have never been about subtlety, whether you're talking their 1986 debut, anti-Live Aid album Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records or their "Tubthumping" you over the head. |

| | "Tubthumper" is the most recent addition to Chumbawamba's discography of some eight or nine albums (one released with a companion CD featuring the spoken word of political scholar and linguist, Noam Chomsky). | | | With all the airplay that the band is receiving on commercial radio stations here, one hopes that some of the band's important political message will filter through to their new fans. | | | It's a pity that U.S. libel laws have prevented Chumbawamba from inserting the full text of their liner notes in the CD's sold on this side of the Atlantic. |

| | Ink 19 :: Chumbawamba |
| | British anarchist collective Chumbawamba have been flirting with most musical styles throughout a lengthy career, and their albums are all the more uneven for it. | | | The added weight on basing their songs around light electronic rhythms serves as an effective unifying factor to the sound of the otherwise varied musical genres being explored here -- from medieval folk to punk rock -- but the results are so sweet and undisturbed it takes much of the passion out of their performances. | | | The result could have been wildly erratic, but Chumbawamba have managed to hold it all together, turning this into a focused album -- although unfortunately it's a far cry from one of their best. |

| | Splendid Magazine reviews Chumbawamba: Tubthumping (remix) |
| | Unfortunately, their record label has realized that the only way anyone in the US is ever going to buy another Chumbawamba album is if they somehow repackage "Tubthumping" for the handful of people who don't own a copy and still want one. | | | Tellingly, nobody at Koch Records thought that either song could carry an EP as well as a tepid remix of a six year-old hit. | | | They're typical post-millennial Chumbawamba -- melodic and mid-tempo-ish, with intelligent, politically aware lyrics. |

| | Chumbawamba are a band who have a deep concern about man's inhumanity and corruptness. | | | D: The name Chumbawamba is taken from a line in an early Frank Zappa song - it doesn't mean anything. | | | D: Rock and Roll is an institution, the 'music industry' is just that and it won't change a thing because it supports the status quo by its very nature. |

| | Thumping in public (Metro Times Detroit) |
| | We believe that pop music can beintensively political, but Chumbawamba doesn't want to be just a popgroup. | | | The band members, whoseorigins go back 15 years into the British punk movement, definethemselves as hard-core, revolutionary anarchists whose previousreleases contain explicit challenges to the institutions of thepolitical state and capitalism. | | | Youdon't have an idea immediately what the album is about and to me, andfor the rest of Chumbawamba, it's frustrating because the last thingin the world we are is lap liberals; we're anarchists. |

| | With 1990's Slap!, Chumbawamba began experimenting with sampling; the follow-up, to be titled Jesus H. Christ, was banned on the eve of its release after rights to cover versions of songs by Kylie Minogue, Paul McCartney and Abba were denied. | | | All appeared to be business as usual until it was announced that Chumbawamba had signed to EMI; their 1997 major-label debut Tubthumper became a smash, propelled by the infectious "Tubthumping," a Top Ten hit in the U.S. and throughout Europe. | | | After the 1995 live LP Showbusiness, the group returned the next year with Swingin' With Raymond, a concept album about a man with the word "LOVE" tattooed on the knuckles of one hand and "HATE" tattooed on the other. |

| | Chumbawamba: Un - PopMatters Music Review |
| | In their original incarnation as a Crass-inspired punk band, Chumbawamba characterized themselves by their commitment to forging creative resistance to authority, and though their sound has changed dramatically over the years, this playfully antagonistic spirit is the common thread that connects them to their squatter days in Leeds. | | | While their initial punk contemporaries from the '80s have burned out and their more recent pop fellows are busy gathering the crumbs of short lived success, Chumbawamba is still chugging along as ever, churning out critiques of globalization and late stage-capitalism dressed up in sweet pop melodies. | | | You have to hand it to Leeds-based anarchist band Chumbawamba, it takes some serious guts to plug away for 15-odd years under the auspices of recreating themselves anew with every new record they put out. |

| | Chumbawamba want to use music as a weapon in the war against Capitalism and could become Greil Marcus's next darlings, but if music is just another fetishized commodity in a spectacular society, it will be a while before TUBTHUMPER foments another May '68. | | | Chumbawamba: Boff (vocals, guitar); Jude Abbott (vocals, trumpet); Lou Watts (vocals, keyboards); Dunstan Bruce (vocals, percussion); Danbert "The Cat" Nobacon, Alice Nutter (vocals); Paul Greco (bass); Harry Hamer (drums, programming). | | | Rather than opting for the cathartic and visceral approach of fellow agit-prop, anarchist groups such as Crass, Chumbawamba produce cerebral and reflective music on their major label debut TUBTHUMPER. |

| | We call it the Chumbawamba Factor.'" If you remember the song "Tubthumbing"-- the one that goes, "I get knocked down/ But I get up again"-- you may recall that the album, Tubthumping, and actually every other album that the one-time punk band ever recorded, sounded nothing like their big hit. | | | Garland recalls that around 2000 or 2001, when record sales first started to drop industrywide, "We actually got kind of cute about it and told them, 'Look, we have a theory about why your business is in decline now. | | | And what we told [the record labels] is, 'Look, you had a great long run of business essentially built on regrettable impulse buys,'" says Garland. |

| | This is because Chumbawamba's music doesn't sound conventionally political, i.e., folky, punky or thrashy. | | | But unfortunately, few things are more irritating than bands who want to educate their audience. | | | Set in a bar where a drunken prole is singing out "the music that reminds of the good times," it contains a lilting chorus of "Danny Boy" that elevates its chanted verses into something really special. |
