CHAINGANG

Boots wit the furr

About Me

We're a four-piece from Sydney who play love songs for the ladies."Taking the lead from the darker spectrum of '70s punk, CHAINGANG straddle the line between indie and punk, much like their contemporaries Die! Die! Die! and Young and Restless, though they do it with a slight touch of morosity; almost Nick Cave in its darkness" - Who The Hell"Oh boy, help me regain my balance. CHAINGANG's Get Off My Stage is the sort of song you just want to spin around and around to — endlessly, mindlessly..." - Lost At E Minor"Sounds like the spastic, brash bar band rock that was Joan Jett or the Runaways mixed with the tribal delight of Siouxsie & the Banshees... Gothic Blondie. I dunno. It's rad, it's rockin', it's flailing down the streets with pants down, it's hooting and hollering, kicking and screaming. Let me go and bang my head to this stuff - maybe you all should follow suit" - Bibabidi"A lively bunch to say the least. Their music throbs with energy, dark energy - from the pounding drums, growling guitars and murmuring bass line, down to the fantastic vocal antics by singer Hayley. A bit of pop, 70's punk and some Gothic rock all mixed into one - these guys are sure to speed up your heart rate quite a bit. Just listen to the brilliant 'Get Off My Stage', and you'll know exactly what I mean" - Rock Sellout
