Hailing from the sun-soaked coast of Australia, The Chats have cut a fiery path through the music scene over the last few years. Grab your mullet wigs and rip the hem off your jean shorts, because if anything epitomises the hardcore punk-rock world fused with quintessential Australian humour, it’s this trio. With their no-nonsense sound and irreverent lyrics, they have breathed fresh life into the somewhat dormant punk music scene.
They first burrowed their way into our playlists when they dropped "Smoko" music video, directed by Matt Weston. The low budget clip, featuring true blue Australian culture - a smoke break - garnered international attention, with rock legend Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters even giving them a nod. This raw, straightforward, and unpretentious style became their trademark and illustrated the band's DIY ethos. Another amusing fact is their "Pub Feed" video - set in a dingy roadside restaurant, it tickles the memory of anyone who’s ever exchanged cash for greasy grub. Endearing, quirky, you might catch yourself chuckling but The Chats know how to deliver a punk anthem. Their impact? Rebooting punk music, with a nod, a wink, and a cheeky grin.
