About Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!

Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! is a French rock band that formed in 2007. The band consists of vocalist Bertrand Poncet, guitarists Éric Poncet and Paul Wilson, bassist Mathias Rigal, and drummer Bastien Lafaye. Critics characterize their music as upbeat, catchy melodies, heavy breakdowns, and a mix of pop punk, and hardcore influences.

Paul Cordebard formed the band in 2007 with the intention of blending influences from pop punk, hardcore punk, and heavy metal. He invited Bertrand Poncet and Jonathan Donnaes to join him in the venture. Soon after, they enlisted Bertrand’s brother Éric Poncet and their close friend Mathias Rigal, who had no prior experience as a bass guitarist. Additionally, a scene from the 1985 adventure-comedy film The Goonies inspired the band name, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!.

Although the band struggled to establish a fanbase in their native France due to the lack of a rock scene, they found success playing in other countries, particularly in North America and Asia.

On September 2, 2010, the band released their first official single “In Friends We Trust,” accompanied by a music video. Furthermore, they released the self-produced album, “Something for Nothing,” on November 1, 2010.

The band has released four full-length albums, including “Something for Nothing” in 2010, “Pardon My French” in 2013, “Get Lost, Find Yourself” in 2015, and “Gone Are The Good Days” in 2021. In addition, they have also released several EPs and singles.
