Chavez Records, CDs and CD Singles

Chavez One of Indie Rock's greatest acts, Chavez went quietly unnoticed until their demise following Ride the Fader (1996). However, they raised the bar for droves of math-by-way-of-melody aspirants in their short career, blending simple, atonal, and de-tuned electrics with a remarkably sharp and self-editing rhythm section. Bassist Mike Hoskins helped define his instrument's role, sparsely yet creatively writing in both high and low registers. Singer-guitarist Matt Sweeny also showed equal penchants for innovation and kinetic melody, writing instantly memorable, impossible-to-replicate hooks and arranging his parts with a keen, discerning eye. Rather than beating a chorus to death, Sweeny and company avoided redundancy and kept a leash on the stadium rock -- a brilliant quality that brought a new generation of pop musicians to indie/progressive, and vice-versa.
