Belfast dance-punk duo Chalk have returned with a brand-new single, 'Get Fucked' – you can listen to it below.
The ferocious latest offering from the former NME Cover stars hears vocalist Ross Cullen shun the mundanity of modern life as he heads to the club. "Get a job/ Go to work/ Feels right/ Get yourself a new apartment, seems nice/ Au revoir, get your body on the floor/ Get fucked/ Get fucked/ Get fucked," he tells the listener over an industrial-sounding instrumental.
"Cya later, cya later on the floor/ See the light don’t know what you need it for/ Go to work/ Get a job/ Get fucked/ Get divorced/ Get yourself a new god."
Cullen repeatedly barks his demands towards the end of the cut, with his delivery and the techno-inspired soundscape becoming increasingly brutal. 'Get Fucked' sees the band team up with Irish producer Kettama. "We met Kettama (Evan) last year at our London show at Village Underground and ended up being big fans of each other’s work," the band explained.
"'Get Fucked' was going to be on our album but we didn’t work it out in time and so it sat for a while until we worked on it with Evan, who gave it a new lease of life from the demo to the track."
The relentless, strobe-heavy official music video comes ahead of the single arriving on streaming platforms tomorrow (Friday July 3). Tune in here:
'Get Fucked' follows on from Chalk's acclaimed debut studio album, 'Crystalpunk', which was released in March. The record was hailed as a knockout collection of arresting dance-punk and has since been named as one of the best albums of 2026 so far.
Chalk are set to play a headline show at the Electric Ballroom in London on July 24.
