The Chats - High Risk Behaviour (Special Edition 130Gm Black Lp) (LP)

The Chats - High Risk Behaviour (Special Edition 130Gm Black Lp) (LP) The Chats have the cops to thank for the title of their debut album, High Risk Behaviour. If they didnât keep hassling drummer Matt Boggis about skating in places he shouldnât Ü and giving him tickets listing that as the offence Ü who knows what idiotic title the self-proclaimed Ódropkick drongos from the Sunshine Coast of AustraliaÝ would have come up with. And yet itâs the perfect name for an album that does not fuck around. An album that sounds like Aussie greats the Cosmic Psychos downing beers with The Saints before doing shots with the Buzzcocks and then spewing it all up behind the kebab van. An album thatâs over in 28 blistering, funny, sweaty, unforgettable minutes, with half of its 14 songs failing to reach the two-minute mark. Some might call the Queensland trio lazy. Singerbassist Eamon Sandwith sees it differently. ÓI donât want to make the songs boring, so I just keep them short and sweet,Ý shrugs the man whose mullet became an international talking point following the success of 2017 viral hit ÓSmokoÝ. ÓWe try not to think about it or complicate it too much. You donât want to force it or the songâs going to turn out crap.Ý Their determination to do things Óour wayÝ extends to their music, which is why High Risk Behaviour delivers everything youâve come to love from The Chats Ü only more of it Ü and confirms their status as Queenslandâs greatest ever export (apart from Bundy Rum).
