Now Hear This: Choncy | Community Chest

These Ohio post-punk oddballs don't have a monopoly on wiry guitars, angular grooves & angsty lyrics — but they fuse them into a winning combination on this LP.

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:Choncy’s Community Chest is an itch-scratching debut album shaped by post-punk, garage, and hardcore-adjacent music.

The album confronts the trials and tribulations of the modern day workforce culture day-by-day in the Rust Belt. The four piece band out of Cincinnati, Ohio embrace their original punk sound through uniquely biting vocals and fluctuating shrill guitars, all kept together with a potent and driving rhythm section. The album was recorded to tape at Amish Studios with Joe Tellman in Nashville. Company Man, the album’s lead single, capitalizes on its post-punk rhythm and witty vocals, while Beehive parallels modern hardcore music. Choncy passionately stamp their Midwestern identity across Community Chest with an original sonic and visual prowess.”
