 +~+~+~+~+~+~+~\nABOUT THE BAND:\nIn the suburbs of Somewhere, USA, a y
 oung boy began a semi-reclusive love affair with music. Delving into g
 enres as diverse as pop, black metal, and the classics of rock and pop
  of the 60’s and 70’s, Devin Ballard began soaking up the diverse 
 styles and experiencing the artistry of hundreds of musicians. He beca
 me fluent in the language of music; fully understanding the story a go
 od song is capable of telling, even instrumentally. He picked up his a
 xe and began to tell the stories of his teenage angst and experiences 
 with the voices of six nickel-plated strings. Using an old walkman voi
 ce recorder, he started a collection of these ideas and finally decide
 d that he needed the collaboration of other musicians to make his idea
 s whole. Band members came and went, and finally the right people walk
 ed into the practice space; people who had enjoyed some of the same mu
 sical experiences, and with some influences of their own. James Philli
 ps, an old school friend and Cartyr Thomas, a nearby singer, teamed wi
 th Devin to create a successful high school rock band called Coldsun.L
 ike all things in high school, the band proved to be temporary when al
 l four members pursued different life paths, continuing their musical 
 ventures with side projects. As time passed, James, Cartyr, and Devin 
 realized how special their musical connection had been and have since 
 joined forces once more to create an unforgettable, home-hitting sound
 . Almost exactly four years after the demise of Coldsun, the trio was 
 repentant of their time spent apart and ready to release an EP under t
 he new name, Chainangel. Chainangel delivers a sound that truly embodi
 es raw emotion in the most familiar and understandable musical form. N
 o longer driven by teenage angst, the songs are inspired by relatable,
  relevant experiences like love, deep questions about life and control
 , and insobriety. The memorable melodies combined with edgy-yet-famili
 ar musical riffs are sure to pleasantly reappear in the nooks and cran
 nies of your brain for weeks after listening to the songs, though each
  person will find different parts of the pieces with which to identify
 .\n \nJames speaks about what compels him to express the innermost wo
 rkings of his heart and mind though music: “I just don’t need anyt
 hing else. I’m just in love… with music. I don’t think most peop
 le can understand that. You can have a passion for music, but to find 
 a group of people to truly be in love with it… It’s strong.” “
 The best part [about our music] is its sincerity. It ranges from the h
 ardest metal riffs we thought you could handle to entire songs based o
 n delicate acoustic finger-picking.” The musical diversity is design
 ed to reflect the ups and downs of daily life to show how different so
 me feel from day to day. “It’s about as close as it gets to a snap
 shot of our souls.” –Cartyr“Our drug of choice is branded into o
 ur hearts until the day we die.” -Devin\n\nFor more information visi
