Tubthumper is an album by the anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba, and is the album that catapulted them into the mainstream. Many of the tracks address specific social issues, such as homelessness, the Liverpool Dockers' Strike or racism; a fair number of them express the anger and disgust of the British far left (of which Chumbawamba is part) over "New Labour," which started in 1994. Tubthumper was the band's first major commercial success, and remains their most successful album, selling over 3 million units in the United States alone, largely on the strength of the smash hit lead single "Tubthumping". Cover design for the album was by Michael Calleia at Industrial Strength Design in New York City.
