I’m checking out a Soundcloud account called BoyfromChubb. Why? Because I’ve find out about the band Chubb which recorded some demos in the early 90s that sound quite good! Let’s see what information there is…

First thing I notice is that there are a ton of songs. I’m mainly interested in the tracks by Chubb. There are a few: “I Need Your Love“, “Arctic Cathartic” and “Trainsurfing“.

By clicking on these songs I find out that the band was mainly a three-piece formed by Chic on vocals and guitar, Corky or Mike on guitar and backing vocals and Vin on bass. Then there is some information about where these songs. All songs were recorded by someone called Duffy in Macclesfield around 1992. Corky plays guitar on “I Need Your Love” and Mike on the two other songs.

Then there are a ton of songs by Chic & Vinny as a duo. This project seems to predate Chubb and have a very good sound! I should dedicate my next post to them. But I’m here thanks to “Trainsurfing” which is great. I look at the location where it was recorded, Macclesfield. They could hail from there, or also from somewhere close by like Manchester, even Liverpool. Who would know?

Sadly I can’t find more information without last names of the band members. The name of the band doesn’t help either. I get lots of hip-hop results, go figure.

Anyhow, I want to think there are readers in the north of England that might remember them and would have a clue about them. If so, leave me a comment on the blog!
