The Chisel

Founded by former Arms Race members Nicholas Sarnella and Charlie "Chubby Charles" Manning-Walker, as well as Cal Graham, the band has released two studio albums and four EPs.

This trio recorded the EP Deconstructive Surgery (2020) with Manning-Walker on guitar, Sarnella on drums and Graham on vocals, before hiring bassist Tom Ellis and additional guitarist Luke Younger.

[13] The band were featured on Pure Noise's Dead Formats Volume 2 compilation album, which they contributed a cover of Elton John's 1973 song "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting".

[22] Graham's lyrics discuss topics such as fighting and working class struggle, with his vocals showcasing his Lancashire accent, with some songs making use of harmonicas and pianos.

[23][21][24] Stereogum writer Tom Brieham called their style a merger of "the speed and focus of the hardcore" and "classic UK street-punk, with its beery melodic abandon and its group-hug chant-along choruses".
