Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Release The Summer Song Of 2021 With ‘Gone Are The Good Days’

Chunk! No, Captain Chunk have released the title track off their upcoming record ‘Gone Are The Good Days’, and it is the happy song we all could use right now. The band’s joyous and carefree sound are perfect for the first summer post-lockdown. The song is about how the good old days have passed by, but it is important to care them with you and look back fondly. Everything has changed since the covid-19 pandemic, but that is okay. It is time for a new chapter, and Chunk is here to help ring it in. If there was ever a time for Chunk! No, Captain Chunk to make a comeback, it is now. Fortunately the band are coming out the gate strong, as their first single ‘Bitter’ is an absolute easycore banger. Gone Are The Good Days is more mellow than its predecessor, but it is the perfect song for a June bloom.

The Song Highlights A More Mature Chunk

Bertrand previously stated that this record would be a coalescence of all three of their previous albums. Judging by Blame It On This Song, Bitter, and now Gone Are The Good Days, it is easy to tell that this is the case. During an AMA on Reddit, vocalist Bertrand Poncet said “the new album has the tone of Pardon My French with the vibe of Something for Nothing combined with the experience and the maturity of Get Lost Find Yourself. All those things combined into one”. I imagine there will be something for everything on their upcoming album. Additionally, it seems that the band is adding the maturity from previous album Get Lost Find Yourself and applying it even to the tracks that are fun and heavy (speaking of heavy, Poncet also revealed that the heaviest track on the album is called “True Colors” so stay tuned for that one!). This is Chunk! No, Captain Chunk all grown up and at their best, and we are here for it.

If you wish to hear more about the new track and upcoming self-produced album, here is a live Q&A with Poncet. The session is short and intimate, and the Chunk! No, Captain Chunk singer was not able to reveal much, but a fan will likely still get a kick out of the video. The Q&A took place right before the music video aired for Gone Are The Good Days. Speaking of which, the music video matches the song perfectly.

The Gone Is The Good Days Music Video

The video matches the tone of the song very well. Starting off with none other than Toy Story’s heroic cowboy, Woody, swinging into action with a cassette tape full of memories. This is something I can imagine Woody pulling on his human friend, Andy. The music video features a couple reminiscing over the good old days and playing Sega Genesis (I imagine some readers might not even remember the classic console). This song hits extra hard after the quarantine period. Ironically enough, the song was written before covid-19 even happened. The French band is glad however that the track can have a whole new meaning for fans to connect with.

Final Verdict: 8/10 Shells for some carefree summer fun.
