Describing themselves as “noise rock”, Chat Pile take influence from a wide range of genres, including post-punk, nu metal and grunge.
Their doom meets sludge rock sound has resulted in seven EPs, a slew of singles and three studio albums, God's Country (2022), Cool World (2024) and last year’s acclaimed In the Earth Again, a collaborative record with avant-garde musician Hayden Pendigo.
