About Me

The Chunks....how do you like yours? Well, if it's 3 and a half minutes of popfuzz madness then look no further.....from the "man on the edge" mayhem of "sliced", to the sleazy undercurrent of "Rooftop Killer", the chunks exude what the kids want...adrenaline fuelled tunes with a razor sharp edge, and a sense they dont belong. After many years on their local scene, following debauched evenings in and quiet night's out, the chunks songs are a breezy reminder of what it feels like to be different...or at least wanting more out of life than the normal 9 til 5. Having filtered through the ranks of several semi successful bands over the years (most notably the shining and the crime scene cleaners),the chunks were eventually formed to start with as a solo project by songwriter and vocalist Paul "bluesuede" Hughes (a.k.a Ray Presto)...yearning to get back to the live scene, he recruited Anthony Simms (a.k.a Anton Belle) (both formerly bandmates in mid 90's britpop group the shining), on bass, and Dave Symons (a.k.a Sir Night) on drums....a veteren of several southampton bands. Having built up a large internet following with their goodtime politics, the chunks eagerly awaited album will finally be available to buy online from the end of may 07....the chunks are doin it how it should be done...so how do you like yours?unsigned reveiw by Gaz Edwards, uncut magazine, march 07.
