Ahead of the label’s two-night takeover in London this weekend, Chubby
And The Gang has announced that he’s signed with hardcore label Flatspot.
The London punk – real name Charlie Manning – joins
the likes of Scowl, Speed and GEL to kick on with the next chapter of his
career, following a monumental five years that has seen Chubby… play 65 shows throughout
the UK already.
Last year we chatted with Flatspot co-owners Che Figueroa and Ricky Singh about their ethos and how they
operate, with Ricky enthusing, “I hope that people can look at the label as a
trustworthy source of great music. That’s really all we could ask for and I
think we’re very picky about who we work with. It’s not a numbers game, or a
quantity game. I think when you start meeting some of the bands, you get a
sense of them. Sometimes I’m not thinking of signing a whole band, it's like
signing some people that I believe in.”

Ricky believe in Chubby And The Gang with new single The Bonnie Banks below:
