The Chop is an up-and-coming alt-rock trio based in Melbourne. Influenced by Nirvana, Ovlov, and The Pixies, they deliver powerful vocals, catchy riffs, heavy basslines, and high-energy drumming. Formed while studying music at Box Hill Institute in 2019, The Chop has been writing, recording, and performing, building anticipation for their self-titled album. Modernizing the genre, they tackle themes of mental health and resilience while delivering a fun, energetic performance.

Despite being relatively new to the scene, The Chop has quickly gained recognition. After only their fifth gig, the band secured an impressive third place in the ACCESS ALL AREAS - BAND COMP hosted by Stay Gold. This achievement has further ignited their hunger to become mainstays in the Melbourne Rock Scene. The Chop is set to captivate audiences with their unique sound, blending raw power with infectious melodies.

Stay tuned for their upcoming album as The Chop redefines alt-rock, proving that the genre is alive and thriving.
