Chest.
Paris, FR
Post Punk
chest. is a post-punk/noise rock band from Paris, France. This group of five friends offers their vision of the music scene they love the most, influenced by all the artists they encounter in their daily lives.
United by their love for noisy effects and loud decibels - without sacrificing catchy choruses and melodies - their shows are cathartic parties where everyone is invited to dance, mosh, and sing along.
Having opened for prestigious international acts such as DITZ, KNIVES, or Heavy Lungs, and played on stages ranging from Rock en Seine to La Maroquinerie or Dublin, these five are set on making their music resonate with the widest possible audience.
Before their first EP “All Good Things Ends” was even released in February, they were part of the “NME 100” selection for 2025. The release was then followed by shows across France, England, and Europe. Single by single, they are preparing their debut album, expected in the second half of 2026.

It's hard to pin an age on chest.'s music - constantly in motion, where spontaneous energy collides with timeless electricity. The name is no accident: its five members first bonded in the darkness of Supersonic, one of Paris' beating hearts of independent music, over a shared love of loud rock'n'roll and sonic experimentation. That friendship shaped a sound that's hybrid by nature - abrasive noise rock, unifying melodies and hard-hitting electronic energy - all filtered through a healthy dose of self-deprecation.
Tipped by NME as one of the "100 artists to watch in 2025" before even releasing a record, chest. confirmed the hype with their debut EP All Good Things End (Howlin Banana, February 2025), then went on to open for DITZ, Jehnny Beth, Heavy Lungs and KNIVES, and tore through La Maroquinerie, Rock en Seine and Eurosonic Noorderslag. In autumn 2025, the band self-produced their debut album at Studio La Frette (Nick Cave, Arctic Monkeys), absorbing industrial, techno and shoegaze influences - with Otto, Cor and Entertainment as standout tracks. chest. is emerging as the spearhead of a French rock scene that's no longer afraid of anything.
