Chicago Indie Rock Supergroup Lives Up To The Name

(4 out of 5 stars)
"One problem with this five song EP is that it's not a full length CD. The songwriting is superb and the performances are skillful and spirited.Another problem may be that it only hints at the power of Chestnut Station's live show, which recently stole the show opening for Tenacious D at the House of Blues in Chicago. Chestnut Station's line-up includes vocalist Rian Murphy (ex-Royal Trux, Smog, Dolomite, and Mantis, as well as producer for Edith Frost), guitarist Rick Rizzo (Eleventh Dream Day), bassist Paul Caporino (M.O.T.O.), drummer Brendan Murphy (ex-Wesley Willis Fiasco, Jesus Lizard), keyboardist Mark Greenberg (ex-Coctails) and guitarist John Whitney (ex-Dolomite)."
