Here is one of my favorite bands going right now. Chat Pile from Oklahoma. They have been bubbling up for the underground since 2019. Their 2021 album God's Country really brought more attention to the band. Their 2024 album Cool World continues this good work.
A Chat Pile is mining term for the big piles of leftover sandy material that is produced from the Zinc and Lead mining. They are scattered about Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas and are considered hazardous material due to the fine particles of heavy metals they contain that are easily blow around.
The band Chat Pile is itself a conglomeration of musical genre's. To me they sound like a mix of every band that was on Amphetamine Reptile Records and a healthy scoop of grunge music. It's loud, heavy, and can be confrontational sonically. But then the band kind of looks like regular dudes. The singer talks about movies filmed in the area that they are playing so we get a lot of Denver and Colorado movie talk. Good times. Enjoy.
