MP3 CHUMP - bc
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Noise, POP: Quirky
Details:
Chump has been described as everything from edgy and dark to Arabic tinged and "different". Their music is at times anxious yet hypnotic, and members are often asked questions about their unusual time signatures, which given their collective lack of formal musical training, they know little about. Chump was born in 1993 after singer Mike Cook answered an ad placed by guitarist Miss Melvis that simply said, "singer wanted". That pretty much left the door wide open, and he found the request intriguing. He joined the group and soon he and Miss Melvis began a unique songwriting partnership, with Melvis creating the musical palate for his unique lyrical style. Chump has had stellar opening slots for King Missile, Ed Hall, Girls Against Boys, Royal Trux, The Fastbacks, Tree, Leaving Trains, and FuManchu. Reflecting the industrial spirit of their native Cleveland, they self-produced two 7" singles, and two cd''s. The group has been profiled in two issues of Cle Magazine/CD compilations put out by fellow Clevelander Jim Ellis. They were also recognized by numerous fans of the venerable John Peel on BBC Radio One in the U.K., who sent fan mail after hearing them played on the host''s weekly show.
