The Chop came into being when five lifelong friends from the great state of Delaware decided to take over the world. Though briefly separated by the entirety of the North American landmass, an east-west migration spanning three years found them reunited in San Francisco . It was here then, that The Chop was born. The Chop’s mission: to rock as many earholes as possible. The Chop’s methods: clean guitars, three part harmonies, and shameless self-promotion. The Chop was made to love you and you have been pre-selected to love The Chop.

"The Chop... found California AM radio gold when they reached our [west] coast. Though the band is more than capable at three-part vocal honey, its demo recordings feature at least one dance floor–ready cut." --SF Weekly
