Chin Up Chin Up preview

Chin Up Chin Up are putting final touches on their next cd that is due out in October called This Harness Can't Ride Anything for Seattle's Suicide Squeeze records. The new disc was recorded by Sir Brian Deck [Iron And Wine, Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse] at Engine Studios.

The Chicago based-band traces its history reaches back to 2001, when Jeremy Bolen and Nathan Snydacker formed Chin Up Chin Up as a "nod to optimism." They've toured extensively throughout the country, sharing the stage with great bands like the Appleseed Cast, the Mercury Program, Pedro the Lion, the American Analog Set, Broken Social Scene, Smog, and Pinback.

You can listen to a preview track from the new disc here and the title cut from their 2004 record We Shouldn't Have Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers here and another track "Virgnian" from that same record here.
