Get Fucked is the second studio album by Australian punk rock band The Chats, released on 19 August 2022 through Bargain Bin Records.[3]

It was the first album produced by the band to feature Josh Hardy on guitar, following the departure of former guitarist Josh Price in 2020.[4] The album was preceded by four singles: "Struck by Lightning", "6L GTR", "I've Been Drunk in Every Pub in Brisbane" and "Out on the Street".

At the 2022 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album.[5]

Background

In March 2020, the band released their debut studio album, High Risk Behaviour. It received generally favourable reviews[6] and won Best Independent Punk Album at the AIR Awards of 2021.[7]

In December 2020, it was announced Josh Price, guitarist of the band, had left to pursue a solo career.[8] Josh Hardy, guitarist of the band the Unknowns, replaced Price.[1]

Get Fucked was recorded with producer Cody McWaters in six days at Hunting Ground in Brisbane.[9] On the schedule, frontman Eamon Sandwith admitted their "work etiquette wasn't great", as the band would "start at 11 and finish at 4, and in the middle of that we'd go to the pub for lunch for two hours, and have a few beers".[10]

Release

On 11 March 2022, The Chats released the album's lead single "Struck by Lightning" – their first original song since 2020.[11]

On 5 May, the band announced the record would be titled Get Fucked, and that it would be released on 19 August 2022.[12] A second single, "6L GTR", was released alongside the announcement.[13]

The third and fourth singles "I've Been Drunk in Every Pub in Brisbane" and "Out on the Street" were released on 11 July and 16 August 2022, respectively.[14][15]

In September 2022, the band will embark on the Get Fucked Tour alongside support acts Mean Jeans, the Prize and Aborted Tortoise.[3]

According to Metacritic, Get Fucked has received "generally favourable reviews".[20]

Stuart Berman of Pitchfork wrote the album is "fast, crass, and loaded with more instantly quotable Aussie idioms than Crocodiles Dundee and Hunter put together", praising the band's evolution from their debut album two years prior.[19]

Andrew Stafford of The Guardian praised the album in a three star review, claiming "it’s tighter, with better playing and a tougher sound", but wrote it "lacks some of the naive charm that made their debut so endearing".[17] Ali Shutler from NME similarly wrote Get Fucked was "faster, more furious and more direct than anything The Chats have done before".[18]
