Chat Pile’s Unique Contest: Win a Signed Cool World SNES Game!
Fans of Oklahoma’s noise rock sensation Chat Pile are in for a treat! The band, known for their love of cinema and their unique musical style, is hosting an exciting contest that merges their passion for film with a little bit of retro gaming nostalgia.
The Love for Movies
Chat Pile has made a name for themselves not only through their music but also by showcasing their passion for movies. From scoring and starring in the independent film Tenkiller to referencing films in their song titles—like their recent album Cool World, which nods to the 1992 animated feature—the band’s cinematic influences are evident in their creative output. Vocalist Raygun Busch often delights fans with anecdotes about films related to the cities they perform in, making their shows an engaging blend of music and storytelling.
A Trip Down Memory Lane: The Cool World Video Game
However, not all adaptations are created equal. The Cool World video game, released by Ocean Software in North America for the Super Nintendo in February 1993, has garnered a notorious reputation for being a confusing and poorly designed experience that bears little resemblance to its source material. Guitarist Luther Manhole humorously reflects on his experience playing the game, stating, “Yeah, it sucks. It’s not good… It’s confusing to interface with at all.” With such a glowing review, one might wonder why anyone would want this game in their collection!
The Contest: A Unique Prize
Despite its poor quality, Decibel’s Kill Feed team decided to turn this retro relic into a unique contest prize. During the recent Metal & Beer Fest in Denver, they brought along a working physical copy of the Cool World game to get signed by all four members of Chat Pile. This one-of-a-kind item will be awarded to one lucky winner, and yes, it actually works—though it may not be suitable for regular gameplay!
Sweetening the Deal
To make the contest even more enticing, the winner will also receive LP copies of Chat Pile’s Cool World (an indie store exclusive Highlighter Yellow vinyl) and their recent collaborative release In the Earth Again (Cobalt Blue Vinyl) with Hayden Pedigo. This prize package is sure to be a standout addition to any music lover’s collection.
