Letras de canciones de The Chats

Self-proclaimed shed-rock band the Chats were thrust into the spotlight when their song "Smoko" and its accompanying video went viral in 2017. That same year, the old school punk-influenced trio issued their debut album, Get This in Ya!!

Josh Price (guitar), Matt Boggis (drums), and Eamon Sandwith (bass, vocals) founded the band in 2016 on Australia's Sunshine Coast, Queensland, in high school. The trio cited the Sex Pistols, Ramones, and Black Flag as early influences, and the classically scrappy D.I.Y. sound of punk could be heard across their self-titled debut EP, which appeared in 2016. But it would be their follow-up EP, Get This in Ya!!, that garnered the band attention with the catchy lead single "Smoko" in 2017. The Chats filmed a low-budget video for the song at Peregian Beach, Sandwith's house, and a construction site nearby. The clip was later posted on a surf store's social media page, where it really took flight, racking up millions of views over the Internet and bringing the band worldwide fame. In 2019, Get This in Ya!! was re-released to wider distribution on Burger Records.
