Chart Attack “Age Against The Machine” On New Album

Chart Attack, the anonymous band in old-man masks, have self released their new album, Age Against The Machine, that reimagines ’90s hits in the band’s own style, with guest appearances from three of their musical heroes; Kevin Martin (Candlebox), Jaret Reddick (Bowling for Soup) and Jason Aalon Butler (letlive). At a time when AI-generated music raises questions about the future of creativity, Chart Attack celebrates the human side of making a record: playing instruments, trying ideas, taking chances and putting something of yourself into every song. The album pays homage to ’90s favorites with arrangements shaped by the band’s personality. That enthusiasm also inspired Chart Attack to reach out to artists they had long admired. Kevin Martin lends his unmistakable voice to Alice in Chains‘ Man in the Box, Jaret Reddick joins Chart Attack on Blind Melon‘s No Rain, and Jason Aalon Butler brings his explosive vocals to Rage Against the Machine‘s Killing in the Name.

Chart Attack will celebrate Age Against the Machine with an intimate Halloween album-release party later today, October 31st, at Illinois’s House Pub. The night will feature live music, a $250 prize for the best costume and a complimentary tasting of Lost Marbles Little Batch Bourbon, from Kevin Martin‘s spirits company. Fans are encouraged to dress up, bring their friends and celebrate the music that brought everyone together. Chart Attack are also planning select live dates in 2027.

“We wear the masks because it’s not about us. We’re fans first. We’re not trying to be rock stars or act like we’re cooler than you. We’re here to celebrate the music we love, sing along with you and have a great time together. And if a bunch of guys in old-man masks can remind you that it’s never too late to follow your dreams, even better.”
