CHAIN POETS: S/T cd. Killer Alternative power-pop, post-grunge and classic rock. Check samples

Description

CHAIN POETS: S/T Chain Poets are a relentlessly touring power trio from Atlanta, Georgia. A meld of alternative pop, post-grunge and classic rock, Chain Poets’ song-craft, vocal harmonies and expert musicianship draws comparison to Everclear, Goo Goo Dolls, Cheap Trick, and Stone Temple Pilots. Formed in 1997, the band have been featured on CNN, MSNBC and the Atlanta based television show 400 South. The recent buzz developing around the band has earned them an endorsement from Jagermeister. This, their self-titled debut is among the top five selling discs. Chain Poets appear on the Paul McCartney tribute disc Love In Song: An Atlanta Tribute to Sir Paul McCartney, rendering the classic cut “”Every Night””. They recorded 3 Beatles’ songs including “”Help””, for the Sean Penn movie “”I Am Sam””. Chain Poets’ CD captures the fervor of the bands high-energy performances along with the diversity of their various influences, which stretch from Bartok to the Beatles to Burt Bacharach to The Beach Boys. Memorable, melodic power-pop songs, stop-on-a-dime instrumentation and powerful vocals are what you will find both on their CD and their live performance]

5.0 out of 5 stars They Rock,

5.0 out of 5 stars What’s missing from this record?
Nothing! When listening to these guys, it hardly matters what your musical preference is; if there’s any sound they can’t capture, this listener has yet to hear it. Hard to remember they’re a 3-piece band, the musicianship is so strong. With current airtime so strangely devoted to the relentless nonsense that passes for music these days, Chain Poets are a breath of fresh air. This CD offers in-your-face rock’n roll, with superb guitar work and smashing percussion, as well as songs that defy classification with their masterful use of keyboards, mellotron and synth. The guys clearly had some serious fun in the studio with this production, and their obvious joy in the creative process shines through on every track. Give it a listen – “”Chain Poets”” is a treat to be savored.

Strong rock band
After hearing the CD, I was so happy to hear some new tunes that I could relate to. Strong hooky riffs with strong, very cool lyrics make an incredible rock band. I totaly recommend getting this CD. Your missing out if you don’t.

IF I ONLY HAD A RAYGUN!,
This CD has not left my player since I put it in! So much better than the drivel on the radio. There’s a wide range of stuff on here so its hard to pick a favorite song – they can rock like mad and also know how to dig at your emotions and show a sense of humor as well. Bottom line is the songs are so good, catchy melodies that stay in your head, killer harmonies (Queen anyone?), great playing and singing. Love it love it love it!
