#TheChats
At last an Australian rock band who realised that you get struck by lightening and not by thunder!
Then again, I don't think Lightningstruck has the same ring to it mate
Yeah only having a wee joke mate. Thunderstruck much like AC/DC is fantastic
Erm.......
Ahem.
Thunder and lightning are the same thing. Thunder is what you hear, lightning is what you see. They are one and the same.
Hate to be that guy, but such is life.
@@lolocaust4967 so would you say that one could get struck by thunder? English is not my first language but in my own language there's a really clear distinction between the sound of thunder and lightning itself. So while i get what you're saying there's still a clear distinction between in the two, at least in my language (which is also germanic, so i'm guessing it's the same in English)
Perfect example of a band retaining everything that makes them great and leveling up at the same time
Well put.
they’re getting faster!
@@dreamofyouandi it's all that time spent in the 6ltr GTR.
I'm pushing 40 and these guys make me feel like a 19 year old again. Great music.
I'm 63 and they make me want to pogo like it's 1977 again! Going to see them in May of this year and already excited 😁
I'm 53 and a big fan. Proud to see the youth keeping "in your face" punk alive! Hello from North Carolina USA!
F*ck that.....lm pushing 60 and they make me feel like 19.....cheeers bro

Schleimkeim from Germany Dude.
Best GDR Punkband ever.
how is this band not more popular?
every song ive heard from them is just sublime lol
kkep rocken in the ("free") world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This band is huge, what are you talking about?
@@1024dram I’m in merica lol
Being born in 1979 and growing up listening to the changes of Australian music I already know that you guys are gonna leave a mark in history. Don't ever change. The world needs this.
A mark in history? More like a skid mark in my Reg Grundies
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@gloryglory5688 yes! But a glorious skid mark in your undies
By making something that was already made decades ago...right.
If these guys formed in 1977 they would be household names today.
I feel like these guys have tightened up their sound a bit and they sound AMAZING! Can't wait to see them this year!
Gonna be at Rockville and I'm STOKED!
Berlin SO36 here, hope it‘s gonna work out this time around. Same for the Sniffers. Can‘t waaaait!!!
MAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH
Yeah much better produced than early tracks like Smoko! Nice and punchy with far more of their live energy captured in the recording.
seeing them in southampton tonight fucking KEEEEN mate
Hard-ons, Cosmic Psychos and now there's The Chats. Punk is not dead. Thank you.
Amyl and the Sniffers too. Lots of good music coming out of Australia these days.
@@Tusitala1967 thanks going to check them out!
@@fugzzi6942 The lead singer is like Iggy Pop and Wendy O Williams of the Plasmatics had an illicit love child. I hope you enjoy them! :-)
@@Tusitala1967 Yes I did and they're amazing! I can't believe I missed this band so thanks again for the recommendation! And haha honestly the very 1st thought I had when seeing a video was "hey Wendy O Williams is back" :D :D
Punk is not dead...just moved to Australia. :)
This is a new level of quality output from this band, i feel like they've really come into their own with this new single.
My 13 year old daughter and I rocked out and sang along with your songs on a 2000 mile trip last summer. She couldn't believe I liked your sound! I grew up listening to The Violent Femmes and others when I was her age. Can't wait to hear new song!
No you didn't
Keep supporting your daughter listening to go music, in this era of garbage.
It shows how good the Femmes were in their early days. Hopefully The Chats don't end doing a New Times style record.
@@awkander Don't contradict your mother.
Superb Band
(had support from
Cosmic Psychos)
Great Video
excellent Track greetings from Motorcity Stuttgart Germany have fun
☠️💣☠️
I hope these guys' backs are okay from single-handedly carrying the entire genre of punk rock into the future
them and idles
@@calvinskinner6520 Amyl and the Sniffers!
@@StephanAlberts legit came here to mention them!
@@Zanbi legit ditto.
I mean, honestly: singlehandedly....tsk!
Team effort, cnts!
It's not like there's a dozen other bands worth mentioning am i RIGHT?
In my teens I witnessed the dawn of punk and the sound that these guys put out brings me back to those amazing times.
Very sceptical when smoko came out but they get better and better!!
Yet their sound feels fresh and genuine
The fact they filmed this during an actual lightening storm.. and almost died. Kudos. Eamon took that shock like a beast.
Still remember watching Eamon play the drums and jam out at a house party we had in Noosa in like 2017... Dudes only gotten better and better. Dope as fuck
He’s so chill too. Always has a little grin. Love his vibe. 🤗❤️🇺🇸
You do realize this song is an ultra-basic 4/4 rock beat right? Your boy is an adequate punk drummer, not exactly John Bonham behind the kit.....
Eamon is the bass player.....
@@keithrichardscorpse1230 ACKSHERLY
@@keithrichardscorpse1230 You do realise this song is a style of punk rock and complexity is almost antithetical to the style, right? Lemme guess, you're a metal-head that makes music to wank his musical skills, not to just enjoy himself?
All the stuff these dudes release is straight 🔥🔥🔥
Hearing this and loving it. Blessings from Brazil
Brings back all my 80's memories, endless bongs, surfing and booze.. those great memories of listening to GBH, Exploited, Anti Pasti, Stiff little fingers, Dead Kennedys, Millions of Dead cops etc etc..
Discharge!!!
Toy dolls
This is pretty much toy dolls I’ve got asthma
love the next generation of musicians keepin it real. Those facial expressions are on point.
Im 35. This is the future of classic punk. I listen to Misfits, addicts, ect when I was a kid. Your kids will have The Chat in their repertoire. Look out!
Wow, the production values are through the roof boys, love how the drummer got the spinal tap treatment.
absolutely insanely cool. love the old punk feel. you guys rock.
The BEST Aussie band today ;)
Fuckin' awesome. Sounds more mature but just as raw and punk and wild.
GORGEOUS
Solid.mate.
I just did a "pogchamp" if thats what the kids call it
wtf language wimp
Fecking brilliant! Rock and Roll is alive and well. Greetings from Ireland to Australia 🇮🇪🇦🇺👌
This band makes me want to tear down my house, piece by piece, with my bare hands. Fucking rock!!!
I actually need this done! Come over we'll blast this and go to work
I LOVE YOU GUYS! Definitely gonna see you live someday. Love from Canada
WOW. I haven't heard such great, solid, old school punk sense probable around 82. FREAKIN SOLID. You guys are the real deal.
Real deal was the 70, s
Not 82
@@gmantramp404 - Radio Birdman - yeah. Sonic's Rendezvous - yeah. But don't downtalk the 80s
@@andylane3739 I'm not downtalking but 70, s is old skool 👍👍
I absolutely concur. For some reason this sort of Punk was out of the window by 83. I was too young to understand why then and still cannot.
My favourite band. and I'm 65😊
Ditto. 67 here.
Big love from America. You boys are gods
I never heard this band until just now and I loved it. They have a similar energy as the descendents that is pretty much needed and appreciated these days. Glad someone's keeping that flame alive, lads.
I'm on smoko, so leave me alone.
Pup feed is basicly I like food but extended
I'm telling you boys the sound is unbelievable. This is the some of the highest quality new music being released in the country right now. Keep going hard
Nice mate, love it
Hahahhaa
*the world.
In the galaxy.
37 years old and I appreciate the hell out of this band. Bloody champion
37 years old is still kinda young bro
Another classic to add to your growing collection of amazing songs
2:13 of pure energy, like an espresso shot but music.
63 year old punker here and these 3 Lads are impressing me with their Lightning....Lets have a Chat
Honestly, this is just incredible punk music. Absolutely love the energy and the cheeky tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Reminds me a lot of the Descendents in some ways. Keep it up.
I don't know who those are but I agree
Welcome to the weinerschitzel, may I take your order please??
I think they are like a mix of the Sex Pistols and the Ramones.
@@taliaeategg2027 the look those up then, early 80s punk, that had a huge influence on "poppunk" bands of the 90s/early 00s
also; I like food . coffee mug , really could be covered by The Chats
@@RoyceLovesHisShotgun a man of taste 🤝
This song is giving me very strong The Dead Milkmen vibes and I love it!
My first thought
They've always given me that, since the first song I've heard of theirs (Smoko), with their sense of humor
The Vandals. Very “urban struggle”.
I love these fellas for contributing to bringing classic punk back to this more modern era.
These kids make me happy. They make me want to pick up a bass.
Do it 🙏
Now this is the punk music I've been missing for years. Reminds me of the stuff from the 80s.
no way.....l want to hear more katie perry singing how she want to f*ck some chick......NOT
He cut his hair?! Damn, that M-A-N-A-G-E-R must have really gotten to him
disgusting
He looks like Jason Newsted with red hair
either that or he took some acid
Hence why pricey may not be with them no more
I GOT STRUCK BY...LIGHTNING!
F#*king luv it boys 💯💥
I'm 51 and I can tell : this is very good Punk-Rock !
f*ck that .....l 61 and know this is good.....
These blokes are nailing it once again! Cheers from Belgium!
There are no words for how much I love this band.
I'm 46 years old and this is the most fun I've had in while, yeah, a while.
I saw the Dead Kennedys in LA when I was 18 in LA. These guys have that same thrash spirit, for sure...
Australia is the different world. Someday I will definitely go there. Greetings from Poland
Me, 30 seconds into this video and hearing these guys for the very first time: "Yup, I'm a fan"
Toy Dolls meets the pistols, dig it!
This is a band who just gets better and better heading to the top
I love these guys, they stay true to their identity. Don’t EVER change like other punk bands do.
Another amazing song by The Chats, can't get enough of your music, life long fan right here
Randomly came across that video of dude stage diving into the rail on Reddit.. so glad I checked out their music 🤘
A touch of Wire's Pink Flag buried in there - absolutely lovin' it!
These guys are great! They deserve a practice space with a better ground.
I bet they can have one if they want it. I saw them the day before yesterday at Rock am Ring 🤘
For the oblivious it is the (mostly rock and metal)music festival that takes place every year at the Nürburg Ring race track in Germany since 1985.
There is also a twin festival "Rock im Park" that takes place in Nürnberg on the same weekends. The line up is the same.
This actually brings a tear to my eye. I really thought the New generation would never understand punk well enough to start a true punk band of their own and I've never been happier to be wrong!
Sadly, the punk ethos will be carried forward by our generation because of how absolutely fucking disillusioned we all are with the state of affairs and the way things are heading.
Viva la revolucion
@@camerondailey2627 amen brother, long live punk
Lol there's so many young punk bands and punk rockers out there. You must live in Buttfuck, Nowhere and stay under a rock.
@@reynutz wow.. what a turd fuck of a thing to say to someone who is obviously just a nice guy huh.
@@andrewdeen1 Nah, he's right. People who say "punk is dead" just don't go out to their local shows anymore. There are probably more than you think and plenty of them sound fine. Not talking shit, but punk music isn't hard. It's more about the lyrics and attitude.
The only way OP would be right is if he was making a pretentious philosophical statement about punk. You can argue any BS for that.
I like Dis Song Awesome Sound
Just found this band yesterday,and i was what the fuck is this,its fantastic! Great stuff BOYS!
Love how these dudes have a sense of humour, awesome stuff as always yo
Good day mates, greetings from South Florida! Keep the good tunes and Good Vibes coming boyos! Helluva way to start my morning at 8 a.m.! Gracias Mi Amigos
The best and the only punk rock band thats doing it right in our time
Love it!!
Love it!! You blokes are evolving..this shit is a tight as a frogs ass!! 🤘
How do you know that? 😎
Agreed!
@@lucasblack7583 it's common knowledge
I have never heard of these guys, but this is absolutely gold. Luv it.
Dive into the rabbithole, mate!
Much better and cooler than I thought
Don’t know what’s better. The song or the video⚡️⚡️⚡️
I saw these guys in Sydney just a couple of weeks ago, I lost my voice, my hearing, and everything else, best performance ever
Punks not dead, it lives in Australia! 🤘🤘
Renbeni is a 'pathfinder' , the first brave ones to face storms & fame.
Sis can handle 'being on top'. She brave, she bad , she aint messing around.
So good to see two legends in one frame 🤝🏼
I came across these guys a few weeks ago and they are brilliant, hope to see them live
Im so looking forward to see those guys on stage 🤙
Listening for 5 secs... Australia
Love this song. Raw, powerful, angry and energetic. Hope to see you in the UK soon. ❤
Introduced punk rock to my generation, thanks
single-handedly reviving the punk scene
In what country ? Cause it hasn't gone away. I mean if all you know is radio pop punk then yeahh i guess so.
The Chats and Amyl and The Sniffers. Australia is producing the best rock n' roll anywhere in the world right now.
loud, fast and noisy. Excellent!
Just like me in the bedroom 😂
@@Neo-cu1qb lol
I used to go to punk and skin gigs in Melbourne in the early 80's as a teen, and you guys rock out as hard as any of 'em back in the day!
Well done lads. If ya see an old bastard up the front at one of ya gigs, that'll be me.
Dammmmmmnnnnnnnn this sounds so good!! It's awesome to see how you've improved since Smoko, great job guys!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
If you haven't, look up Bus Money. One of their best
@@moneymike5549 it's a great one indeed, my favourite is Temperature
@@nickhogai I will be honest. My favorite tune is the last one I listened to. These guys are nothing if not consistent.
@@moneymike5549 I couldn't agree with you more, these guys are showing that punk is not dead at all!
Piss off !! Smoko is a total classic. Iconic.Hilarious .
the first time im listen this band im started a band, tenkius for your music !!!
Smoko may have brought me here, but everything I've heard since is whats bringing me back.
Can't wait to see them Live in Houston!!! Cheers!!!🍻
Love your stuff! And you keep not disappointing! Awesome release!
Only disappointing thing about this is the lack of glorious ginger mullet
These lads are f#%king brilliant!🤟
No joke..this is my new fav band
I started off loving you as a comedy band and now I love you as a fucking rad band! 🤟🏼and still holding onto that element of comedy too. Perfect! You guys are awesome 😎
Same! Belive it or not I never herd of these guys, saw them on today show awile ago looked up their music there pretty fucking good! Need more bands like these!
⚡️Damn. The Chats are becoming an even more powerful monster. We’re all fuct now. Run for your lives! ⚡️
70s punk rock!!
Return of Punk ✌️❤️
This is awesome. If you ever make it to the U.S. we'd love to join you for any shows near Atlanta, Ga
...and then I see the chats packing out the Buckhead theatre in 2 months haha
New Jersey also welcomes them! It'd be sick to see a show!
Gonna be at Rockville in Daytona on Sunday.
Arguably one of the top punk bands still keeping it real. Love it. Thanks gents.
Their only 5 years old
@@aaronjecevicusjr.9878 Amazing. The singer looks at least 19.
Greatest Punk band of this new era by far. They crush the comp. please come to Vancouver Canada tons of Aussie’s and I’m down to rock.
This band rules!!!
Leave me alone, I’m on Smoko!!!
Pleasant surprise to know that bands with the wonderful Punk sound of the 70s ~ 80s keep appearing.
My greetings and respects from Chile.
These guys are so good and funny at times they seem to be enjoying themselves which is the main thing
love it
Fuckin brilliant!!!
Love the video and especially the song!!
You guys know how to bring down the house!
