\nFormed in London in 1976,\nChelsea were one of the first wave of punk bands, but, unlike the\nSex Pistols and The Clash, never made it big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three of the four original members went on to form Generation X, but vocalist Gene October<\/strong> stayed put, and has been recording and touring with various line-ups ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band never enjoyed a big hit, but their 1977 single Right To Work<\/strong> is regarded as a punk classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have been as busy as ever in recent years: in 2016 they toured the UK and Europe for the band’s 40th anniversary, and released a 3CD anthology including their entire back catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea say their next album will be their last.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2017\nsaw the release of their most recent album, Mission Impossible, which\nsold out in three days and was hailed as the best of their career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now\nthe current line-up \u2013 October, guitarist Nic Austin, bassist Mat\nSargent, and drummer Steve Grainger \u2013 have launched a Kickstarter\ncampaign to fund the recording andf release of their 12th and final\nalbum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re offering some exclusive rewards including:
* The original prototype album cover artwork, drawn by the band in the back of the tour bus.
* Two fully signed Epiphone guitars used on the recording of the new album demos.
* The opportunity to come to the studio and record backing vocals, with your name in the list of credits.
* Spend a day in Nic’s studio writing and recording a song\/demo with Nic & Mat. You get to take a copy home with you after spending the night in a local hotel.
* The top reward is for the band to play a full acoustic gig in your front room. Chelsea have never played an acoustic set so this is something quite special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
