Having recently welcomed rising Wollongong duo Chimers to the Poison City family, Poison City Records are over the moon to announce their forthcoming sophomore album Through Today will be out November 8th via PCR and Gerard Cosloy's 12XU (North America). The first new single ‘3AM’ (out now) serves as the perfect introduction to Chimers’ blend of urgent, buzzing post-punk & timeless sonic rock. 

Through Today is Chimers' second long player, ten tracks of raw honest aggression capturing the band at their zeitgeist: right here and right now, as melody and power merge seamlessly into one. Recorded and mixed by Jonathan Boulet (Party Dozen, Body Type, Loose Fit) Through Today is a significant leap forward from Chimers' self-released and self-titled 2021 debut. An album that started as a whisper and turned into a roar, regularly re-pressed as the band played shows across the country as the support act of choice to such luminaries as Mudhoney, Built To Spill, R.V.G, The Mark Of Cain, Scientists, Body Type, Victims, Screamfeeder, Civic and Cable Ties.

For their follow-up, Chimers moved out of the garage and into Wollongong's Stranded Studios. The band made use of Boulet's lightning-fast approach, recording 13 songs in just three days with executive rule ultimately trimming the fat to 10 for the album. Traces of late-eighties post-hardcore and alterna-sounds (Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Hüsker Dü) seep in and out of the album, but with Chimers' direct and no-unnecessary-fills approach, the sound is always uniquely theirs. Padraic's passionate, heart-on-sleeve vocal approach and singular, spidery guitar lines are intensified by the pummelling rhythms of drummer Binx. Jono's minimalist approach and the collective mindset have resulted in a timeless album that sounds personal and quite unlike anything else to come soaring out of the Australian underground.
