Chalk
Chalk from Belfast is the three-piece project of musicians and filmmakers Ross Cullen, Benedict Goddard and Luke Niblock. The group combines catchy melodies with a blend of guitar-driven rhythms and atmospheric elements. Their music explores themes of youth, love, and self-discovery. With the release of their debut EP's 'Conditions' & 'Conditions II', 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.
