(From Get F**ked album; 2022)
For the past couple of years The Chats have scratched my same itch as Sum 41 in the early 2000s: a gobshite Punk band armed with choonz, riffs, and very entertaining music videos (both bands even have scrawny ginger singers!) Fortunately, The Chats are Australian rather than Canadian so there's no chance of them growing up to become a Lidl Velvet Revolver like Sum 41 did. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead listening to a modern Punk band from Britain, America, Europe or Japan because the only people who can credibly make Punk music in 2022 are Australian zoomer grubs who look like they could be James Gribble's gang from Round The Twist season one.
Bonus beats: Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's Who Stole My Car? has gotta be the most "it was the moment I feared" type song after The Moment I Feared itself.
That video is great.
ReplyDeleteI need all 4 videos from the new album on constant rotation on KerrangTV when I'm channel surfing before bed.
ReplyDeleteDevin the Dude Lacville ‘79 might be my all time fav car-talk song
ReplyDeleteDefinitely top 5.
ReplyDeletePublic Enemy's Your Gonna Get Yours might be my G.O.A.T. Celly Cel & UGK's Pop The Trunk would be top 5 too.
car-talk is especially boring for us who use subway. LOL
ReplyDeleteMic Terror keeps it real as a rapper who really rides the subway.
ReplyDeleteCar-talk jam of the day: Cadillac Girl (remix) by Andre Nickatina & Mac Dre.
Think RiFF RaFF’s Porsche Cayenne might be the last rap related car song I heard that I liked. Kind of blasphemous squandering that Christine sample on a German whip that’s ugly as sin, though.
ReplyDeleteWith you on You Gonna Get Yours being the G.O.A.T.
😄 there's a bloke who comes in my local who has a Cayenne who is immensely proud of his hulky sloane ranger school-run mobile.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm more into the punk/hardcore side of things that proper punk, even though the distinction between the 2 can be porous, but I'd say there's a lot of great bands going on at the moment, from all accross the globe. The UK has a rather booming scene actually with a great variety of bands and labels.
ReplyDeleteMore punk adjacent than anything else but a great band nonetheless, you got High Vis from London, maybe check them out: https://highvis.bandcamp.com/album/blending
Their previous LP No Sense No Feeling was amazing too.
Will peep it.
