Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!

Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! (initialized as C!NCC!) is a French easycore band formed in 2007 in Paris. The band consists of vocalist Bertrand Poncet, guitarists Éric Poncet and Paul Wilson and bassist Mathias Rigal, with founding drummer Jonathan Donnaes leaving in 2014 to be replaced by Bastien Lafaye.

The band has released four studio albums: Something for Nothing in 2010, Pardon My French in 2013, Get Lost, Find Yourself in 2015, and Gone Are the Good Days in 2021.

The band formed in 2007, when Paul Cordebard wished to experiment with blending influences from pop punk with hardcore punk and heavy metal and invited his friends Bertrand Poncet and Jonathan Donnaes to form a band with him. Shortly after their formation, they asked Bertrand's brother, Éric Poncet and close friend, Mathias Rigal who, despite having no experience as a bass guitarist, joined the band. The band name is taken from a scene in the 1985 adventure-comedy film The Goonies, in which Chunk and Sloth arrive on the scene to help their friends. Poncet describes the choice of The Goonies as a "good childhood reference" and felt the name reflected who the band members are. The band found it difficult to establish a fanbase in their native country of France as there is, in Poncet's opinion, "absolutely no rock scene." They found solace in playing in other countries around Asia, and especially in North America.

On September 2, 2010, the band released their first official single "In Friends We Trust", along with an accompanying music video. On November 1, 2010, the band released their self-produced debut album Something for Nothing.

After signing to Fearless Records with a global deal in 2011, they re-released their debut album Something For Nothing on 19 July 2011 The band was confident in their signing with Fearless as they considered them "one of the best labels out there for that kind of music". The re-release featured a brand new album artwork and a different track listing, replacing "MILF" and "Alex Kidd in a Miracle World" with the song "Make Them Believe", which was a Japanese bonus track on the original release. To coincide with the re-release the band released a music video for "Captain Blood", which was overall the second single off the album.

In October 2011 Captain Chunk! joined The Artery Foundation's European "Across the Nation" tour headlined by Miss May I. This is the first time Captain Chunk! has performed in the United Kingdom. The tour was well received including Captain Chunk!'s, said to have featured "a downright bizarre and eclectic lineup". In December the band went back to the United States Fearless Friends Tour, a tour which exclusively features bands from the Fearless Records' roster with Blessthefall, The Word Alive, Motionless in White, and Tonight Alive. In November 2011 the band contributed a cover of Kesha's single We R Who We R on Punk Goes Pop 4 as part of the Punk Goes... cover album series which was released internationally on 21 November 2011.

In 2012 Captain Chunk! tour schedule in the United States expanded rapidly, supporting Attack Attack! in late January and February 2012 as part of their on going This Means War album support. Throughout March and April the band also supported deathcore band Chelsea Grin on their debut headline tour "The Sick Tour". Captain Chunk! also was announced for Vans Warped Tour 2012 line-up, the band toured for the entire festival and played on the Ernie Ball Stage. With their performances as part of the Warped Tour the band contributed the single "In Friends We Trust" to the Warped Tour 2012 Tour Compilation album. During their performances on the Warped Tour the band performed new songs. The band also was the main support for Woe, Is Me on their Talk Your [S]#?! Tour across November and December 2012. Although proud of how strong their fanbase in America grew in the year of touring the band found the language barrier and being a new band difficult, Poncet has said that even though the band was taught English in school, they learned more English while actually touring in America.

In January 2013 the band started to record their second album with producer Joey Sturgis in Michigan, United States. Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! performed at the Australian 2013 Soundwave festival performing at all 5 dates in: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth between 23 February and 4 March. While they were in Australia for the festival, they performed two club shows with All Time Low and Polar Bear Club. Across March and April the band returned to the United States to support the upcoming release of their second studio album. To coincide with their appearance at Texas based South by So What?! festival they wrapped a short headline tour with support from Handguns, State Champs and City Lights in mid March. The band is also supporting A Day to Remember on the first half of their Right Back at It Again tour also featuring Of Mice & Men. The band saw the opportunity to tour with one of their influences as one that couldn't be refused. This led to the band rescheduling all of their American headline tour dates of their 'Pardon My French Tour' with supporting acts For All Those Sleeping, Upon This Dawning and City Lights. The band felt they received a positive reaction from the crowd on the Right Back at It Again, and that they learned from the other bands on the bill how to give more professional performances.
