Chimestone is celebrated for its dynamic blend of powerful, emotional vocals and melodic, hook-filled musicianship—a seamless mix of pop and rock. Known for being radio-friendly while staying true to their independent spirit, the band’s latest self-titled release, Chimestone, was recorded at Seattle’s iconic London Bridge Studio and features new lead guitarist Jonathan Plum. He joins Jake Gordon
(vocals), Ted Schuehle (bass), Paul Pitkin (guitars), and Paul Michaels (drums) to bring fresh energy to the group.
Their debut album, Just for Grins, was a trailblazer as the first independently released record from Seattle’s Bad Animals studio to sell over 5,000 copies without major label support. Recently, the album celebrated its 30th anniversary with a special blue vinyl reissue, available exclusively at Easy Street Records in West Seattle.
Chimestone continues to captivate audiences across the Northwest with their high-energy, engaging live performances, solidifying their place in the local music scene.
Medicine Hat hit their peak in 94, born from Sean, Ben and two Jasons meeting at Shoreline Community College in 1990. By 1993, they were playing to packed houses throughout the Northwest, including Sublime’s first Seattle show, X’s tour for Hey Zeus, and a show in Tri-Cities where TchKung nearly torched the HoeDown down. A dedicated, mostly all-ages following kept them playing constantly. They were the subject of a photo shoot in Rolling Stone covering “normal weirdness in Seattle”.
Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu, Motown, Gang of Four, and the new romantic movement all spilled into their ears along with everything played in Seattle at the time. Sean’s vocals sailed beautofully over an angular hardcore surface. Wayne Horvitz may not remember, but he played on their one record, released on Nabil Ayer’s Collective Fruit Records before disbanding in 95. They are back for a rare set and a few surprises.
