The Chats announce debut album High Risk Behaviour

Aussie punks The Chats have announced details of their debut album High Risk Behaviour.

The trio's first full-length will be released on March 27 via Bargain Bin Records/Cooking Vinyl Australia.

"I just want people to have a good time,” says frontman Eamon Sandwith of the album. "I want them to dance around and have a beer and enjoy it. We don’t make songs for people to look at in a fucking emotional or intellectual way. We just make songs for people to jump around and have fun to."

He continues: "I think they’re good songs,” says Sandwith. “And at the end of the day, if I like it then fuck it, who cares if other people do?"

To mark the announcement, The Chats have released a video for new single The Clap.

"I don’t want to make the songs boring, so I just keep them short and sweet," says Eamon. "We try not to think about it or complicate it too much. You don’t want to force it or the song’s going to turn out crap."
