CHUB RUB IS A FAT-POSITIVE, FEMME & NON BINARY BAND
Chub Rub is a Philadelphian band who just released their debut EP, Make Some Fucking Space, containing powerful feminist folk ballads such as “50 Ways to Kill Your R*pist” and “Shrink,” which boasts the titular lyric: “If you think I don’t fit in, well/Make some fucking space.” FUCK YES!!! I can’t tell you how excited I am about this group and what they’re doing for fat representation and liberation in music, specifically for the Philly community! 💗
“This is what makes Chub Rub feel so victoriously ground-breaking: that they’re four femme people demanding “fats to the front!” at their shows, performing alongside other explicitly body-positive acts like Thunder Thighs. By encouraging support and community among fat femmes, the four-piece addresses an aspect of accessibility and inclusivity in the DIY scene that is often ignored.”
