Choncy
Trademark
"Trademark" is the third LP from Cincinnati punk quartet Choncy. Within genres that have been recycled, revitalized, and pushed to their limits for over fifty years, the group is constantly dancing around their signature sound. References of alternative music motifs stretched from bustling British megalopolises to rust-covered Midwest neighborhoods displays Choncy's desire to play punk music but refuses to pick an era to pull from. Is there anything left to say? Are we all playing the same three chords? If we are, who owns the rights to them? Known for their "kitchen sink" style, Choncy has cleaned off the plates this time around; loosening up on their hardcore roots and taking a step further towards the estranged and angular corners of punk. Unpredictable dances between demented dissonance and craggy punches parallel a constant shift in power, resulting in a record that demands attention more than ever before.
