Chest.
Electrified future-punk
What happens when you bring together three sound engineers, a pedal player and an Englishman who loves shouting into a microphone? Well, we witness the birth of chest., a five-piece noise-rock monster that can no longer be kept in check.
The band didn’t choose its name by chance: for years, the members have been breathing music from every pore, ever since they first met amidst the darkness and vibrations of Supersonic, right at the heart of Paris’s independent music scene. Nicolas and Pierre-Louis worked at the venue and bonded over their shared love of loud rock ’n’ roll and musical experimentation. The project really came to life with the arrival of Thibault, Alexis and Elliot, colleagues from Supersonic. Together, they began writing songs and recording demos.

Fueled by the encounters and bands they watched pass through the venue every day, chest. quickly found their own creative voice - somewhere between abrasive music and the pure joy of a band forming in the most natural way possible, blending each member’s influences into something deeply personal. Never taking themselves too seriously, the band often leans into self-deprecation, making irony and the friendship between its members key parts of its identity.
