FatPete's Bands You May or May Not Listen to But Should Listen to More Anyway #2;

Choke

Members:
Clay Shea - Bass/Vocals
Jack Jaggard- Guitar/Vocals
Shawn Moncrieff - Vocals/Guitar
Stefan Levasseur - Drums

From: Some place in Canada

Since: 1994

Plays: A fusion of good ol'-fashioned skate punk, technical melodicore, emo, pop and jazz. (Really hard to compare to other bands - started out just playing riffed-up skate, but has evolved into having their own sound. Kinda like a less metal Strung Out at times, like a slower Belvere at other times. But very much their own.)

Discography:
"Slow Fade OR: How I Learned To Question Infinity" (Smallman Records, 2005)
"There's a Story To This Moral" (Smallman Records, 2002)
"Foreword" (Smallman Records, 1999)
"Needless To Say" (Smallman Records, 1998)
"Give'er" (Smallman Records, 1996)
"Lotion" (Independent, 1995)

Biography:
FatPete thinks:
I love to see a band who strives to always progress within their genre, and within themselves. Choke really does this, pushing the envelope further all the time. The guitarwork is always top-noth on their stuff, and the song structures are awesome. Although I know high-pitched vocals are frowned upon generally, and all the singers in Choke seem to have this , even that doesn't bring it down for me. They may get a bit on the soft side, especially in latter days, but it's part of the progress. Although not strictly "punk", they're an awe-inspiring band worth checking out.

Recommended tracks: (from each album I have)
"Wasted" ( from "Needless to Say")
"Filter" (from "Foreword")
"Forget to Learn" (from "There's a Story to this Moral")
"This Forced Hour" (from "Slow Fade")

Getting some:
Either get in touch with me, or visit their official homepage.

Cheerios!
