About Chalk
Chalk are a three-piece Belfast band that draws from post-punk and techno to make their intriguing, metallic racket. Chalk were formed during the Covid lockdown period by Ross Cullen, Benedict Goddard and Luke Niblockthat who met whilst studying film at Queens University.
The trio sprung out of the gates live, supporting London's PVA in Dublin for their first ever show, before selling out their debut hometown headline in Belfast and embarking on a UK/IRE tour starting on the 6th May. The tour included two full capacity shows as part of the First Fifty at Brighton's 'The Great Escape' Festival.
With the release of their debut EP 'Conditions', the band interweave their industrial noise/techno hybrid soundscape and the monochromatic gothic visual landscape they have created for themselves in an evocative and seamless manner.
The anthemic titular track 'Conditions' represents Chalk's exploration of everything life brings to us as human beings, both in our dreams and in our relationships, the deflating and the uplifting, the past and the future. It's about the seemingly eternal struggle to find out who we really are as people, wrestling to discover what our purpose is... and where we belong in this world.
