Chillerton are three true dudes who, one night in 2002 met on the mean streets of Portsmouth and bonded over a love of gruff and melodic punk and the booze. Since that fateful night we've played LOADS of gigs all over the country, got drunk regularly, practised sporadically, written new songs occasionally, toured annually and met some awesome bands and made some of the greatest friends you could ever wish for! Greg has quit the demon drink making him a more efficient drummer, driver and lover, so Jack and Bailey are drinking for three!!
We have just released our debut FULL LENGTH album, 'Bleak Unison' on Boss Tuneage Records, it took a while we know but it's all done now and we're super happy with it, cheers Aston! If you want to buy one hit the Paypal button to your left, or, if you're still living in the dark ages you can pay by cheque/ concealed cash, just send us a message and we'll sort you right out.
Prior to this we have released a split CD/10" picture disc with When All Else Fails (of which two thirds of them are now You, Me and the Atom Bomb) and a self titled CDEP/7", both of which were released on the now extinct(?) Cat N Cakey Records.
We love nothing more than playing DIY gigs ANYWHERE at ANYTIME so get in touch if you can help us out!!
*PS IF WE ADD YOU AS A FRIEND AND YOU PROCEED TO LITTER OUR COMMENTS BOX WITH CHEAP ADVERTS FOR YOUR MUSIC/PROMTIONS/WHATEVER SHIT YOUR TRYING TO SHIFT, PLEASE DON'T BE SUPRISED IF WE FIND YOU AND BEAT YOU WITH A BRASS BALL BAG*
Some people have written some kind words about the new album and we didn't even have to bribe them!
Chillerton - Bleak Unison (www.pmzine.co.uk)
Chillerton have been plugging away solidly on the southcoast punk scene for a while now and maybe don't get the recognition they deserve. Despite showing flashes of brilliance on their split 10" and self titled ep this debut full length album is a definite step up and represents a much more focused sound. I honestly don't believe theres a bad song on this album, to be fair Chillerton play exactly the kind of music that ticks all the boxes in terms of what I want from a band but even so, this album would sway even the most unbiased listener. For those that haven't heard of these guys before, they play chugging mid tempo melodic punk with strained shouty singalongs and mix in a little 90s emo/punk in a similar way to southcoast neighbours Circus Act. If you imagine a mix of Leatherface, Gunmoll and Small Brown Bike then you probably have a pretty good idea of what these guys sound like. Anyway, this album is absolutely fucking fantastic and its been on my stereo since I first got it. Oh yeah...and if that hasn't already sold it to you, theres a guest appearance on track six from the esteemed punk rock celebrity that is Tim Greaves of You Me and the Atom Bomb, how about that!
we would love to play fest but, our singer lives in germany so we aren't a "real"band. we are a product of protools.(aka a marketing scheme concocted by shit talkers on the punknews comment section.) though I will be at fest with beers and whiskey ready for you guys.... if you come to the states you need to do some touring.
we should be mates for sure, "Bleak Union" is one of my favorite records of the year. come to the states and we can have a contest to see who can destroy their livers first.
Pleasure to share a stage once again with you at the old Windmill. Would you be interested in venturing down into our neck of the woods anytime soon? I'm hatching a cunning plan, like. Let me know!
much appreciated! i know the bukowski poem very well, i myself have a huge bukowski tattoo on my back much to my mothers joy! has bailey got our c.d yet? i mean i know he works in a castle but surely they must be up to date by now.. i must admit i am deeply impressed by that song and now it makes alot more sense to me.. hope to see you guys again soon..mike..x
hey guys hope the tour is going well.. i have a fanboy/nobber question.. what is the song 'it runs around the room and me' actually about? unless this is a personal issue.. i will accept a comment just saying nobber on our profile if so.. mike..x
