Bio

Dutch Chester started out as a recording project by Chawn Cook about 6 years ago. The first demo, "Do or Die", was just a few songs played in previous bands and later featured on the Circus 51 CD. After recieving airplay on several stations across the nation and rave reviews with the second outing "The Mirror Never Lies", the idea to form up a band and tour was concieved. But doing this proved to be hard to do in a Town like Amarillo,TX. The flair for country and hardcore made it impossible to find musicians interested in the project. But then Chawn formed Circus 51 with some old bandmates and then signed with an independent label. After this fell through, Chawn went back to the drawing board where he found some old demo recordings from the Dutch Chester sessions. After dusting them off, he decided to do something with them and here we are. The Dutch Chester sound has been compared to Black Label Society meets Bon Jovi. With catchy hooks, drop D groove, and shredding guitars, it offers a newer metal sound with a twist of the old. Currently looking for a drummer and bassist to complete the project. Getting airplay across the country at Web Radio Central. Also available for download here at Reverbnation and also at Boostindependent.
