Along with fellow DC natives the Make Up, CHISEL helped bring the infectious sounds and far-out fashions of mod culture back to the rock underground. Taking cues from The Jam's legendary frontman Paul Weller, Chisel's charismatic scratchy-voiced leader Ted Leo shaped his band's engaging brand of rough-edged, loose-limbed, hook-heavy mod-punk, and in the process help set off the nascent garage-rock revival of the late '90s. Like Make-Up leader Ian Svenonious, Leo's roots lay in D.C.'s emotive hardcore scene, a background that lent itself well to Chisel�s forays into mod/garage-rock. Leo avoided the fruity pretensions which so often afflict purveyors of '60s rock nostalgia, instead creating something dynamic, vibrant, and contemporary.

This is Chisel�s first full-length album!
