CHUBBY AND THE GANG
AND THEN THERE WAS... (FLATSPOT RECORDS)
The album "And Then There Was_" is 16 songs written and performed by Charlie, produced by Jonah Falco, and recorded and mixed by James Atckinson.
It's a mix of control and chaos, love and loneliness, rage and vulnerability. The songs scream to be heard in a live setting, but feel just as at home playing over the speakers of a dimly lit local pub.
"There's A Devil In The Jukebox" is a roaring punk track. "The Bonnie Banks" storytelling nature leads to repetitive refrain that is begging to be shouted along with.
There's the raucous and simply put "Anticop." An expansive, drawn out moment of facing mortality on "To Fade Away." And the record ends with an emotive piano ballad in "Cocaine Sunday." Throughout And Then There Was_ Charlie exposes his prowess for melody and exposition of true self.
