Punk rock
Punk rock

Chumbawamba is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Closer, The Fall, Wire, Adam and the Ants and Crass. Those roots explain a lot about how Chumbawamba arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Levellers, Billy Bragg, Barenaked Ladies, Flogging Molly and EMF, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bully, Locomondo, Aus-Rotten, Sarah and the Safe Word and Napalm Death, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Chumbawamba, reaching back through Closer and forward to Bully.
