Chumbawamba were an English band who formed in Burnley, Lancashire in 1982. They are best known for their 1997 single "Tubthumping", which was nominated for Best British Single at the Brit Awards 1998. Other singles include "Amnesia", "Enough Is Enough", "Timebomb", "Top of the World ", and "Homophobia". Their anarcho-communist political leanings led them to have an irreverent attitude toward authority and to espouse a variety of political and social causes including animal rights and pacifism early in their career and later class struggle, Marxism, feminism, and anti-fascism.
