Chalk Talk - Bad Influences (2012)

For Fans Of: Snowing, Coping, Ape Up!

Genre: Emo / Indie

Website: Bandcamp

Description:

Chalk Talk's newest release that brings just as much fun to the table as their last one. If you never got into The Food Chain - you're slacking. If you're a fan of that high energy DIY emo music that I'm sure everyone who follows this shit is - this release is a must have then. Although this release feels like some of that energy from The Food Chain is kind of muzzled or watered down, it's still a fun record (and better than all the other shit that I've been listening to). This might be a stretch but I think Chalk Talk are one best bands currently around making this shit. I don't have the link to download it so you;re gonna have to get it from their bandcamp, they really could use the help anyways. PLEASE SUPPORT THESE GUYS

Chalk Talk - The Food Chain (2010)

For Fans Of: Snowing, Cap'n Jazz, Ape Up!

Genre: Emo / Indie

Website: Bandcamp

Description:

I've had this for a while and I've been meaning to post it, but never got around to it. This is Chalk Talk's best release (they recently came out with a new full length called Bad Influences, but I'll post that later when I listen to it). Chalk Talk are definitely an acquired taste; they are one of those bands that you either--love them--or hate them. What I mean by that is all of their songs are extremely catchy and easy to sing-a-long too, however, their lyrics don't mean shit. Choruses include singing about "nutella" and "doing laundry," but the energy is so high in every song that I can never put this thing down - it's probably one of the funnest records I've heard in a long time. If you don't like these guys, you're probably borderlined retarded. PLEASE support these cats by buying all their shit when they roll through on their Bad Influences Tour (I don't know if they're still on tour for that, but fuck it), they really deserve it. Get into it.
