Chain Poets

"In my opinion, Chain Poets are the best band in the Atlanta music scene today. 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."
- Ear Candy
Amplifier Magazine review of first album 'Chain Poets':
"God save the Chain Poets. Not from themself of course, but from the commercial power brokers that continue to ignore well-crafted and diversified rock'n'roll that unabashedly traces its lineage back to the Beatles, Badfinger and Cheap Trick. This Atlanta-based trio purveys pop in a myriad of mistaken identities. "Dial Nine" is a melodic mesh of acid rock and garage punk while cuts such as "Little Tin Toys" break the speed-metal sound barrier with shred guitar and glam-rock-riddled choruses. "Spleen" shoegazes, "Sweet Dreams" boogies, "Too Bad" freaks out and "Better Off Dead" takes the piss out of macho arena rock. These lads certainly deserve the success afforded Everclear, Fountains of Wayne and the Goo Goo Dolls. Equally cursed and blessed, perhaps Chain Poets do too many things too well."
