Chumbawamba (indie, pop, punk, debut album, album)

Now, I've seen some people talk trash about this band on other parts of the forum, but if you've only heard 'Tubthumping,' feel free to keep your mouth shut.

In any case, they are a pretty decent anarchist indie pop band, and are widely misunderstood, seeing as how most of their songs were trashing the very people who elevated their song to international success. They actually got their start playing punk with The Ex (see the punk forum) and didn't really "go pop" until their album "Anarchy" which featured a baby being born on the cover.

Alright. Go check it out.

Sorry but to me they`ll always be a bunch of annoying middle class students to me.

And I hate their 80s material as much as Tubthumping.

But 10/10 for calling your debut album 'Pictures of starving children sells records'
