Not a cover band. A full-blown punk rock party disguised as five old men who should know better.
Age Against the Machine is Chart Attack’s ode to ’90s music: 13 tracks from the decade that raised us, turned up, sped up and rebuilt as pop-punk party anthems.
The band recorded the whole album themselves, then handed the tapes to Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room (Rise Against, NOFX) to mix. Along the way, special guests Jason Aalon Butler, Kevin Martin and Jaret Reddick step up to the mic. It all drops October 30, 2026.

They've played everything from big festival stages like Punk in the Park to three-hour headline shows complete with live bingo and prizes.

On August 22, 2026, Chart Attack set a Guinness World Record by performing 100 songs by 100 different artists in a single show at Ballydoyle Irish Pub in Aurora, Illinois. They’ve played big festival stages like Punk in the Park and three-hour headline shows complete with live bingo and prizes, because why not? Online, their “original covers” have gone viral, from Slipknot’s “Duality” and Korn’s “Freak on a Leash” to the Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Under the Bridge.”
On October 30, 2026, the band releases Age Against the Machine, a 13-track album recorded by the band themselves and mixed by Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room (Rise Against, NOFX). The record features three guest vocalists from the punk and alt-rock world.

Press MP3s, streaming links and the latest press release.
Chart Attack, the Chicago-area pop-punk party band that set a Guinness World Record by playing 100 songs by 100 artists in a single show, will release Age Against the Machine, a 13-track album of ’90s covers, on Oct. 30. The rollout started with the singles “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” and “Enter Sandman.”

“Somewhere along the way, rock shows got too serious. We’re fixing that. Every night, our job is simple: get the whole room singing, remind everybody why they fell in love with these songs, and give them a night they’ll still be talking about next week,” the band said.
Chart Attack plays the songs everyone knows at pop-punk speed, from alt-rock radio staples to nu-metal anthems. Their viral “original covers” of Slipknot’s “Duality,” Korn’s “Freak on a Leash” and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Under the Bridge” have found fans far beyond the Chicago suburbs. The band has played festival stages like Punk in the Park and three-hour headline shows with live bingo and prizes, and set its Guinness World Record on Aug. 22, 2026, at Ballydoyle Irish Pub in Aurora, Illinois.
