Chalk Talk is an infectiously happy three piece punk band from Connecticut/Massachusetts.
While watching them play through their set in a VFW hall in Massachusetts a few weeks back I couldn’t help but think that they are the embodiment of what I envision an early Blink 182 show being like.. They heckled the crowed, yelled a bunch of crude words, made jokes, cobbled together a set list in between songs and were beaming with excitement and energy the whole time. It was great. It has been a long time since I’ve been to a show where every person in the crowd was singing along and jumping up and down for the majority of a set.
They just released a split cassette with Black Churches (someone upload this, please?) and I believe they’re in the process of writing a full length and releasing a split with Algernon Cadwallader.
They also do that falsetto harmonizing thing that early Weezer liked to do which I’m a big fan of.
