"Chromelodeon is a rock 'n' roll band located outside of Philadelphia (Voorhees). Their rock 'n' roll is usually heavy, with epic metal and slight "indie" influence. Formed in August 2000, Choose Your Own Adventure has been building an arsenal of songs... until now. It is explosion time: shows are lined up, the wheels have been turned, and we've checked the engine for vapour lock."

Contact: sgr1@hotmail.com

What is there ever to say about SGR? These South Jersey ska-core animals already took South Jersey by storm, and are now working on the world after getting signed to Sonance Records, a new label out of Philly. Sure, they are collasal jerk sell-outs, but Frank is still as hairy as he ever was! (Kidding on the first part, not kidding about Frank). You can get their old album, "Livin' the Good Life", a live cd that they are selling, or wait anxiously for their new album to get released. Or all three!
