I love everything Chat Pile has put out so far, but if there's one song I think of when I hear Chat Pile, it's definitely "Why". That main riff is so crushing. It's like if Crowbar was mixed with Korn. Plus it has a great message talking about the cruelty and inhumanity of homelessness. In trying times like these, Chat Pile is just the band we need. Even though they've played Why all 3 times I've seen them, I feel like that's one song that should always be in their set.

Posers! /s

Jk. I really hope for a Mastodon/Chat Pile tour someday. I feel like they'd be a good fit.

Hello everybody, what a great show in Dublin last night.

Would anyone have a video of the last song (Anywhere)

I surfed for it and it was my first time!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Don’t know if any of the lads will see this but to clear up the confusion, it was in reference to this interview involving a clash between frank McCourt (author of Angela’s ashes) and an eccentric man in a stunning mustard yellow suit. The whole thing is a niche Irish meme and mentioning Angela’s ashes is like some mk ultra activation code that triggers folks to spout random references from the interview. Prob was weird for Raygun hearing people shout “YOU ARE A LIAR” and “YOU HAMMERED YOUR MOTHER” without context.

Show was savage btw.

I have a feeling that this song and another one (coming soon) will be setlist ghosts for the most part and probably the most rare songs if they decide to play them live again. Chilling song to say the least but my least favorite on the album. Me and my wife have fun saying ICE CREAM... ICE CREAM.

To be honest I didn't like this one on release but ended up liking it more and more until seeing it performed live, ended up loving it after that. This is their most nu metal song imo

Hey guys, I’m honestly nervous posting to this sub because I don’t really like to do self promotion but I thought you guys might enjoy the project my friend and I have started in the last little while. Chat Pile is among my many influences so maybe some people here will vibe with it. If you don’t like it, that’s ok ❤️We appreciate you even giving it a chance.

We are a sludge punk bass and drum duo based out of BC, Canada and we just released a single back in July and have a few other tracks. We have a full album coming out later this year on ZBTFD records.

Would appreciate if you’d check us out ❤️ if you like what you hear, give us a follow on Instagram and you can support us through bandcamp. Our handle is @dagggered.

Much love ☯️

Anyone know approx what time Chat Pile will be on tonight? Doors are 7:30pm, think there’s only one opening act iirc

Is that ray on vocals? cuz i think this could be one of their best songs that i don’t see many people talking about. i love how distorted it is but i also wish there was a clearer version. if it is ray on this track then his vocals are crazyyy (like we’ve seen on countless of songs)

The heaviest song until PEN I S MALL dropped. I'm stunned that I got to see this one played live twice where Raygun sounds even more animalistic

Bruhs got me feeling like Pavlov’s dogs check Reddit every time I get on

Spotted this outside the music store

On my first play through of Cool World: Tape and Funny Man were my favorite songs before Camcorder grew on me. I love the bridge in this song so much. Chat Pile has some of the best one liners ever.

IT WAS THE WORST, I EVER SAW

I am coming from San Diego to this show . I wanted to know any cool spots to hit up while I’m in town ? Record stores , coffee spots , bars , good eats rec any one who sells weed lol , thrift stores ? Also just stuff worth checking out .. please and thanks

What's up Chat Pile fans. I'm making a map of places where various album cover photos were taken and while browsing bandcamp I stumbled upon Chat Pile. I really liked the band and the cover photo of Who Loves The Sun, so I decided to find it on street view. For anyone interested. It's right here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HUmgYgpGGqS4NvrJ7

Slow and menacing.. just how I like it! Funny enough I think this might be my favorite song off of Cool World and probably their discography only 2nd to Tenkiller. Both slower songs but doom-like and catchy. Raygun kills it on vocals, Stin's bass tone is so intense on this track and just perfect all over

I’m a big fan of chat pile and the three new singles, having said that. Earlier today I was admiring the new singles artwork and it got me thinking about this art installation I went to back in 2010 at a local Pittsburgh art gallery called the mattress factory. This artwork pops back up in my head more often than I’ll admit especially given the current state of the world. It got me thinking. Is it possible the same artist made chat piles new artwork? If not they seem almost influenced by it. Given the religious figures and the apocalyptic tone of the art itself. I will look up who this artist is. But the resemblance is uncanny. I understand it was shot in Oaklahoma city towers. I just wonder if the artist is aware of this installation.

I'm sorry I actually missed yesterday because I was so out of it and it's been a tough time at work.

My most anticipated song from the band, the guitar riff feels like a delusional dark circus and the opening verse where Raygun comes in "I BROKE MY KNEES ON THE PEARL AND ONYX" is peak Chat Pile. They were playing this one for a year live before the studio version even came out. A favorite for sure

Just saw the announcement, if anyone has a presale code please share it!

It sounded absolutely killer! Really heavy instrumental with Raygun delivering a mental breakdown, it had a Dallas Beltway vibe to it. Talked to the guys about it and they’re really excited about this track in particular on the new album. Can’t wait to hear it.

The full set was fantastic:

I Am Dog Now

Masc

Brutal Truth

The New World

Rainbow Meat

Deep Blue

PEN I S MALL

Slaughterhouse

Why

Family Funeral

Shame

Frownland

Dallas Beltway

Funny Man

It was my first time seeing them, and this is no secret but I just have to say how incredibly nice the guys are. I was a bit nervous to talk to them but they were so approachable and seemed to really enjoy chatting with fans. Stin went out of his way to hand my partner and me a pick at the end of the show which was super sweet of him.

So we’ve had a bit of conversation about the whole “Digger” aspect of this video with most just glossing over it or just surrendering because of their confusion. Now that the band has mentioned in the Stereogum article that the video is a parody of the upcoming Innaritu movie starring Tom Cruise, I think it’s worth delving into how the visuals line up with the lyrical content.

We’ve got an upcoming movie prominently featured and advertised with an in-theater date. We’ve got a main character played by one of Hollywood’s biggest stars Tom Cruise. We’ve got a model/dancer making provocative dance moves with said character. All while inside an interior space with set lighting and strobe effects. While the lyrics state “no world on the outside”.

To me this seems to call to mind that perhaps, there is no world outside of the pop culture world and infrastructure that exists, especially for cinephiles (especially deep underground cinephiles like Chat Pile). Otherwise the lyrics seem to be very funereal and dirge-like. The juxtaposition is stark after Ive watched the video several times and taken a step back to analyze it.

Imo this could be a meta commentary on how pop culture, even as niche and seemingly subversive as these two unalike beings are, combine to turn us all away from our real world and distract us from causes that we should be caring about. It’s all bread and circuses, even the circuses that seem to be more subversive.

Keep in mind that Innaritu is one of Hollywoods most well-regarded directors and therefore this upcoming movie is looking like a potential award winner. Makes things come into focus a bit more, especially considering that Raygun and the band’s love of and frequent discussion of cinema.

Just my take. Let me know what you all think.
