The Chats have announced their second album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'High Risk Behaviour' is called 'Get Fucked' and will arrive on August 19 via Bargain Bin Records.
To accompany the news, the Australian punk trio have shared the lead single, 6L GTR, which comes loaded with charged power chords, clamorous drums, and vocals as exhilarating as the sports car it shares a name with.
The high-velocity track was inspired by vocalist and bassist Eamon Sandwith seeing its title on a license plate in an airport parking garage. He said:
"I don’t even know if the car itself was actually a six-liter GTR or anything. To be honest with you, I don’t even know what a car like that would look like! I can’t drive! That was the thing, we were just trying to get into this dude’s head. We were like, ‘When he’s fangin’ it in his car, what’s in his head? What does he do?’ It was a fun exercise."
Head below to view the song's video, created by animator and illustrator Marco Imov. He revealed: "They hinted that it would be cool if instead of being directly about the car, it should be about the band wanting the car. From there it kind of wrote itself down. It was mostly pain and sweat to finish it in time, after writing down stupid ideas that would be difficult to draw – lol!"
The Chats will play Sheffield's Leadmill on July 10, following a run of dates across mainland Europe. Tickets are on sale now.
