The rocker known as Chad Bandit has
released his debut LP record, “The Morning After.” The album
comprises 10 original tracks for an approximate total listening time
of half an hour. It has been proudly published as an independent
release on Bandit's own eponymous label without the involvement of
the corporate music industry. Raw and natural, boasting a mellow tone
of aggression not often heard in rock nor in pop music, “The
Morning After” by Chad Bandit is a debut record that has already
attracted a broad range of music fans.
Chad Bandit cites as main music
influences the Gaslight Anthem, Brand New, Frank Turner, Dave Hause,
Menzingers, and I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business. His own
sound is characterized by clean-channel guitar tones, upbeat drums,
optimistic chord progressions and gritty vocals which form the heart
of “The Morning After”'s overall sound. Bandit's lyrics are
narrative and well-written, often amusing, and delivered in such a
way that the music fan can always follow along without wishing for
greater clarity or enunciation.
Asked to describe the themes of his
songs, Bandit writes that they're about: “Reminiscing over the good
days as a teenager. Drinking with friends around campfires. The dark
parts of humanity. Heartbreak. Strippers. Redheads. Road trips.
Sing-along anthems. Punk rock.”
Chad Bandit was raised in a small town
in southern Oregon. After high school he moved to Portland and
graduated from the Art Institute, after which he found work in 3D
modeling for video games like Tomb Raider and Tony Hawk. His days are
spent as the lead 3D character modeler for the NBC Network's popular
program, “Grimm,” but his nights are filled with songwriting,
guitar playing, and live performances.
His current official bio describes his
act as “playing at bars singing about the days of being young and
hanging out on train tracks, drinking with friends.” He has
previously called himself an “acoustic punk singer-songwriter,”
and has said his debut LP includes music written over a span of five
years.
“It's sure to be a road-trip remedy
for years to come,” he writes.
“The Morning After” by Chad Bandit
is available online worldwide beginning 9 March 2015, or from his
official website now (link provided below). Fans of the true,
American punk-rock spirit should get in early.
