Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
The explosive music of THE CHIMPZ was born and developed from their everyday struggles in the streets of Los Angeles. The band is the U.S. in support of the single “California”, following the Sept. 9th release of their self-titled EP. Their songs are a Street savvy chronicle of their musical journey through the hustle and flow of life in LA, while always delivering a memorable hook.
The new EP was produced by Ryan Greene (Bad Religion, NOFX, Megadeth), who also helmed their previous release “Who Can I Trust”. This will be the band’s 4th commercial release.
THE CHIMPZ’s music has been heard on several episodes of FX’s “Sons of Anarchy”(new song “Right To Left” was used in episode 2 on 9/16 of Season 7 of “SOA”), every episode of MTV’s “Bam Margera’s Unholy Union”, NBC’s “The Challenge”, MTV’s “Real World”, Fox Sports, Animal Planet’s “My Cat From Hell”, Action Sports TV show “Adrenalina” and a host of other placements. The band is playing at a Live Pay-Per-View MMA event at The B.O.K. center in Oklahoma City on Oct. 3rd, and the song ‘Battlegrounds” is being used in all the promos and bumpers as the Theme song for the event.
They have also been featured online and in print magazines including No Cover, Loudwire, ThePRP.com, Campus Circle, Planet Mosh, Antimusic, CrypticRock, Unsung Melody, Examiner.com, Sonic Hits, AbsolutePunk.net, PureGrainAudio.com, Metal Underground, WN Network, Hard Rock Haven, Rock N Roll Magazine, Hip Rock Magazine, Indie Rock Magazine, AI, Rockwell Unscene, and Rock ‘N Roll Industries.
