Chino
These Were Different Times
Led by ex-Monkey 101 bassist Paul K.'s hook-driven songwriting, Chino plays lo-fi indie rock that is equal parts melodic pop and raw noise recalling bands like Flaming Groovies, the Replacements, and Superchunk. Chino has played shows throughout the Philadelphia region with their most notable appearance opening for Guided by Voices. On their newest album These Were Different Times, Chino continues to write noisy but melodic punk-pop songs evoking the best of 90s indie rock.
