Biography

Chelsea was formed in London in 1976 by Gene October, who served as vocalist from the bandâs inception until his death in 2022. The group emerged from the fashion boutique Acme Attractions on Kingâs Road and quickly became a staple of the burgeoning punk scene, releasing their debut single "Right to Work" in Juneâ¯1977, which later appeared on the soundtrack for Derek Jarmanâs film Jubilee (1978). Chelseaâs selfâtitled debut album Chelsea followed in 1979 on StepâForward Records, establishing the bandâs raw punk sound. Subsequent releases, including Evacuate (1982), Rocks Off (1986), Underwraps (1989), Traitors Gate (1994), and Faster, Cheaper and Better Looking (2005), were issued through labels such as Jungle, I.R.S., and Captain Oi!, reflecting the bandâs evolving lineup and sustained presence in the UK and US punk circuits. Notable collaborations included touring with Generation X and guest appearances by Clash drummer Nicky âTopperâ Headon. The groupâs enduring influence is evidenced by the inclusion of "Right to Work" in Mojoâs list of top punk singles and the 2022 reârecording EvacuateâRevisited commemorating the original albumâs 40th anniversary. Chelseaâs career spanned four decades of punk output, concluding with the 2021 release Meanwhile Gardens before Gene Octoberâs passing in 2022.
