Chest Rockwell

Published 12:16 pm Wednesday, September 5, 2012

The band has received strong praise for their tasteful use of odd time signatures, dynamics, unusual arrangements, and eclectic mixing of styles in their songwriting.  “Chest Rockwell is very optimistic about the future and have sworn themselves to making meaningful music regardless of not having record label support.  This is about creating something intelligent, yet accessible and reaching out to as many people as possible.”
