Depending on your mindset or where you are from, the name could use an explanation. The term "chat" is often toxic waste from industrial mining. Kinda crazy that there are piles of it still around in the world, especially in Oklahoma. Anyway, that's what these guys took their name from.
They say they play noise rock, others call it sludge metal. They are making a name for themselves and on some bigger tours. I love how Chat Pile has refined their sound/style over time. Throughout, they been emotional and moody while being thick and heavy. They don't sound whiney, but relay the angsty and craziness of the world they live in.
Purely on musical sounds, I can hear similarities they have with Cop Shoot Cop and The Jesus Lizard. There is some "sonic-ness" that is like the Pixies, but dour, very dour.
Oh, they've covered Roots Bloody Roots by Sepultura! Bonus points!
