The Chats

Sunshine Coast, QLD, AU · 2016–present · active
The Chats formed on Queensland's Sunshine Coast in 2016 and became a modern punk phenomenon by keeping everything short, blunt, and unmistakably Australian. Their early EPs captured a raw high-school-band energy, but "Smoko" turned the group into an international name with a song that was funny, specific, and instantly repeatable. High Risk Behaviour and Get Fucked proved there was more than one viral joke in the tank, packing songs like "Pub Feed," "Identity Theft," "The Clap," "6L GTR," and "Struck by Lightning" into a style the band has often framed as shed rock. The Chats fit punk scope directly: fast tempos, minimal fuss, snotty delivery, and lyrics about work, boredom, petty trouble, drinking, food, and everyday absurdity. They draw from classic punk and Australian pub rock without sounding nostalgic or polished. The band's best material succeeds because it feels immediate. The riffs are simple, the choruses are obvious in the best way, and the attitude suggests that overthinking would ruin the point.
