about

Originally hailing from Dunnville,Ontario, the band found their spiritual
home and built up their primary fan base in Hamilton. Chore swelled in
the heavier side of Canadian indie rock in the late 90s and early 00s,
drawing on the power of Helmet and the intelligence of Fugazi with the
majesty of Sunny Day Real Estate to create an eccentric sound of their
own. After releasing two wildly eclectic records with Brian Pettigrew on
bass guitar, founding members David Dunham (drums/ vox), Chris Bell
(guitar/ vox), and Mike Bell (guitar/bass) made a drastic step in a new
direction by recruiting Mitch Bowden (guitar/ vox) for their third and final
offering 'The Coastal ine Fire'. Released to critical acclaim in 2002, the
release of this album saw the band sharing the stage with such luminaries as The Dismemberment Plan, Shiner, and the Rheostatics while also growing close to such friends as their 'soon to be successful peers' Alexisonfire,Wintersleep and Constantines.
Since that time, all band members have moved on to other music projects. Nowadays,Mike and Chris can be seen and heard in Customaries, Dave drums for Not Of and makes electronic music under the moniker DAVIDS, while Mitch is at the helm of his own project Don Vail.
Label Obscura has exhumed Chore's swan song to give it new life as a
180 gram double LP with gatefold jacket. Set to drop on November 18,
this release will feature updated artwork and liner notes, along with five
previously unreleased songs. These include three originals,which were
recorded shortly before their dissolution, and two covers (Behind The
Wheel by Depeche Mode and Subspace Biographies by Robert Pollard), which were recorded shortly after Mitch joined. This will be on a one-time limited edition pressing of 300 copies .

PRESSQUOTES:

Their stylistic tug-of-war ultimately proves that rewards are most rewarding when they come with a struggle - EYE Weekly

Small-town Ontarians Chore succeed in the seemingly paradoxical task of making loud, heavy music elegant - NOW Magazine

The emotional textures of the album flow in a continual wave, gradually
building from sparse and melancholy to loud and angry, or breaking out
abruptly on the sense - ECHO Magazine

You'd be wise to use Chore as a starting point in the diversification of your record collection and listening habits- Metal Maniacs
