CHISEL Set You Free 1997

Discogs

Artist Biography by Nate Cavalieri

Formed in Washington, D.C., in 1990, Chisel was one of the first revivalist bands of the denim-clad mod/punk movement that would inspire the likes of the Mooney Suzuki and the Delta 72. Under the indomitably energetic songwriting of singer/guitarist Ted Leo, the trio included bassist Chris Norborg and drummer John Dugan.

Chisel built a strong fan base before they had a sizable discography by touring with a host of popular indie bands -- including Blonde Redhead, Karate, and Fugazi -- through the early '90s. Their first official single releases -- "Sunburn," "Nothing New," "The Guns of Meridian Hill" -- were released on Gern Blandsten records and were critical successes, combining the legendary garage sound of the '60s with Ted Leo's complex, melodic ideas. In 1996, Chisel's debut full-length, 8 A.M. All Day, took these combinations further and solidified their underground cult following. Following the 1997 release of Set You Free (also on Gern Blandsten), Chisel disbanded.

Review by Nitsuh Abebe

I Want One of Everybody is the second album release by Trampoline, a collection of D.C.-area talent featuring members of Chisel, Edsel, and Poole, as well as top-rank independent producers and the songwriting of mainman Pat Ferrise. While Dormer, the project's first release, concentrated on cleaned-up, radio-friendly pop, I Want One of Everybody makes a slight jump to cleaned-up, radio-friendly rock -- the record's sound is still far more mainstream than the work of many of the musicians involved (surpassing Dormer in terms of polish, focus, and pop organization), but there's something in its sense of hooks and construction that makes it an indie project even in its most pop moments. Trampoline is essentially a collection of indie-rockers making a highly organized and fairly mainstream pop record, and as one might expect, the results are frequently more intelligent and appealing than the work on top-forty radio.
