Chelsea

Punk rock
Punk rock

Chelsea is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of The Alarm, Topper Headon, London SS, Alternative TV and Throbbing Gristle. Those roots explain a lot about how Chelsea arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sham 69, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Vice Squad, The Adverts and The Business, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into U.S. Bombs and Generation X, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 19 connections around Chelsea, reaching back through The Alarm and forward to U.S. Bombs. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
