Fat Chance


Here's a very particular punk band that comes from Ontario, Canada. The guys started in early 90's, and where influenced by this fast epitaph/fat style. What is particular with Fat Chance is that they added keyboards to their songs, and the result is amazing! The songs can be described as fast and technical progressive punk, and are very original and well built. I dont know any other band that did the same with keyboards. The band is now defunct but some members started another similar project called Hypercricket, which is really worth checking out too!

Discography:
- Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect 200$ (1994) TAPE
- Bologma (1996) TAPE / CD
- More Hairy Than Chewbacca (1998) CD
- M.A.S.S. D.E.B.A.T.E. (2001) CD

    1. Scott (keys) and Jeremy (drums) played together in an indie rock band called "Cedar" for a bit, as well as a piano-punk band that started as "Hypercr!cket" then renamed themselves "The Nohawks".

      Scott currently plays in a ska-punk band called "Slamboni".

      Jeremy played with "Sunlit Ambush", "Jay Spectre" and is currently the drummer for "The Strumbellas"
