Chalk Talk [2009] Killing Spree

sound: Screamo/Pop Punk/Math Rock

myspace + merch.
Chalk Talk plays a fun lighthearted brand of pop punk that's infectious in nature, bouncy and energetic, with lyrics that are fucking hilarious. They have this knack for screamed harmonies, which is fucking great if you see their live shows cause it's pretty much out of control. They just put out a split cassette with Black Churches, and an upcoming tour with those bros in the summer.  These guys run with this DIY promotion group called the Cake Life Collective, certainly worth checking out, their first compilation  record is up for downloading there. Chalk Talk have some sweet t-shirts on their myspace, and quiet an underground following of which you can now be apart of. Check these dudes out for sure.

Saw these guys live last week, and i would like to say these guys boast superb musicianship. Also they seemed like genuine nice guys who enjoy playing their fucking hearts and throats out for a crowd of like 29 people. Their sound is something like Algernon Cadwallader with more melody and less crunchy boredom. This is a pretty sweet record imo, dig in.

*Also sorry about the long absence, i didn't forget you guys I've just been getting ready to move to Alaska on Monday.

sounds like: Algernon Cadwallader, Bridge in Tunnel
