Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!

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{{cite web|url = http://fearlessrecords.com/artist/5 | title = Fearless Records – Chunk!

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.{{cite web|url = http://www.xeasycorex.net/2011/07/chunk-no-captain-chunk-something-for.html | title = Chunk!
