Chalk

Chalk is the three-piece project of award-winning musicians and filmmakers Ross Cullen, Benedict Goddard, and Luke Niblock. An informed mix of the Dublins Guitar Band scene, and the sweaty hardcore dance floors of their native Belfast, Chalk are IDLES meets Daniel Avery, Death Grips meets Bicep – techno-infused industrial punk.

Closing their trilogy of EPs with the aptly titled “Conditions III”, Chalk pull on the visual and audio influences of their former releases, delivering on their promises of tension, techno and high-octane guitar rock. Interwoven soundscapes of industrial noise, rapturous techno and guitar-punk sees the Belfast trio at their most vibrant, euphoric and ambitious.

Recorded in remote Iceland, on the eve and aftermath of a volcanic eruption, this new project from Chalk sees the band explore bold new sounds and sonic territories, shaped equally by Nordic brutality and beauty and intense, oppressive urban corridors.

Chalk close their biggest year yet by solidifying their promise as some of the fiercest new performers on the scene. A string of sold-out headlines across the UK and Ireland, 30+ festival dates globally and support slots for IDLES and SPRINTS sets the band up for their biggest headline tour yet, where they will take in stages across Europe and the UK in Feb/March 2025.
