About Me

" All the changes in moods and styles on this album calls for some very structured songwriting to make it work. Fortunately the band are talented in that department; the creativity has been channeled effectively... this is an interesting release for music fans with a broad musical taste; and worth checking out for anyone defining themselves as just that." 8/10
--- Olav Björnsen (www.prog4you.com, www.myspace.com/haukevind)
"....these guys have a very unique sound and style. They play well together, shifting gears all the time within their compositions, going fast to slow, loud to soft and changing the mood in a heartbeat. I’d recommend Chest Rockwell to prog fans that are looking for something different that embodies the old and the new. This might be perfect to play to friends unfamiliar with the progressive genre, something to expand their listening palette."
--- Jerry Lucky, author of The Progressive Rock Files, 20th Century of Rock & Roll: Progressive Rock, The Psychedelic Rock FIles (www.jerrylucky.com)
"...the variation in the musical expression is large - even within each track. An album full of dynamics and energy... Recommended to those of you who feel like exploring some new territory."
--- Tarkus Magazine 42 (www.tarkus.org, Norway)
"Chest Rockwell vs. The World is a musical journey between genres. Acoustic, dreamy pieces flow smoothly into thrasher, head-banging music. This group works well together..."
--- Kimmi Rudolph (www.bitchinentertainment.com)
"Chest Rockwell Vs The World is a blast of fresh indie-rock wonderment full of interesting twists and turns...an engaging listen...succeeds in creating something unique..."
--- Barry Nothstine, Soul Frequency Radio (www.soulfrequency.com)
"...this is one of the more original independent rock albums that I have heard in a long time, and highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for something that takes a step outside of the box." 9/10
--- Michael Grillo (www.indiemusicstop.com)
"It's nice to see that there are still indie bands that are pushing the envelope."
--- Pete Pardo (www.seaoftranquility.org)
"The musicianship is solid, tight and fitting and the production sounds good... an interesting ride." 8/10
--- TAXI A&R (March 2007)
"...a climax, a turning point, energy, dynamics..."
