Rising from the DIY music scene of Oklahoma City in 2019, Chat Pile is a band dedicated to creating a raw and chaotic sound. Their dark, sludgy take on noise rock carves out a unique space within the underground music world, encapsulating the crushing intensity of Godflesh, the experimental edge of Sonic Youth, and the grotesque humour of Jesus Lizard.
In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, Chat Pile answers with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates Who Loves The Sun, their third full-length record. Since the band’s formation just over six years ago, the Oklahoma City-based quartet Chat Pile has grown from a scrappy passion project into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap’n Ron (drums) create a crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock that captures a raw, undeniably human essence in an age marked by technological overreach and the cold state of society. Nothing about Who Loves The Sun feels synthetic.
“The 10-song set plunges into a relentless and riveting attack of hardcore, metal, and punk that serves to condemn not only end-stage capitalism but also, and more pressingly, the human curse of greed. If previous work lamented the state of the world – homelessness, disease, injustice – Sun damningly goes to the source, lamenting the fundamental nature of the human heart and, in terms of vocals, spotlights Raygun Busch at his most spellbindingly savage.” – Line Of Best Fit
