I remember talking to these guys when I was a metal vocalist 15 years ago and they invited me to come out to California and crash on their couch and jam! so many awesome opportunities I passed up out of anxiety lol. I love you guys still killing it.
Erick said they decided they didn't want to continue with the band (and is doing his own solo stuff), so I think the current discography is what we are going to get from them
Except that bass note at 3:10 but maybe that's why Drew isn't in the band anymore. That and he was always calling the audience "honeydews" and nobody likes honeydew.
before anybody gets genuinely upset on his behalf, i think he just got a little excited and attacked the note a bit too hard. i know i've had plenty of flubs get recorded and uploaded online. the man sings like an angel and they still perform some of those vocal tracks live. i just prefer cantaloupe.

@@bowmaa they are “taking a break”. Short story they got screwed by Sumerian Records and made no money from Albums/Merch/or touring while under their control. Now they are in massive debt with no way to pay it off with their music. There is a deleted interview with studio drummer Brian Evans explaining some of the situation but non of the members have come forth with an explanation. We might see them come back one day but not while Sumerian is around
@@victorlandon7915 Sumerian Records and all Record Labels suck. Periphery Left Sumerian Records because of the same thing too. That’s why they started their own record label and even went as far as producing their own music with P4 and P5.
I'm living for the interviewer trying to maintain his cool immediately after witnessing them obliterate the fabric of time and space with their performance like you can tell by the shaking in his voice he was struggling not to just jump on a chair and be like "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YOU'RE AMAZING AAAAAHHHAHAHGH"
Seriously, I love this video of Chon because all of the performances are amazing, and the interviewer just losing it more and more is comedic gold. Like I feel like the camera man starts to accentuate his antics further into the talking segments.
I never realized how young this group was. These guys play at a technical/creative level and caliber that's so far beyond their age. GOD DAMN this is dope.
The drummer in this session is ungodly. He doesn’t miss a single note. Also those dry MEINL cymbals record so so soooo well. Unbelievable performance by all. Can’t stop watching.
i cant stand how these guys get compared to Polyphia all the time, dont get me wrong i love the riffs and rhythms that make polyphia so approachable to a more broad audience bringing this style of djent jazz prog fusion to the world, but this right here just shows how amazing and much more technically able and musically knowledgeable Chon is. hands down one of my favorite group of musicians currently. so much to learn from these guys. thanks for constantly keeping me inspired both Audiotree and Chon
if this comment was before renaissance came out I totally get it, but I loved renaissance. On-top of that New Levels/RTYWD are pretty insane. Different from CHON yes, but comparable definitely
I can definitely hear Fall of Troy's influence on them. They were the first post-hardcore-ish band I really got into, so I'm now seeing why I love Chon's sound.
They was my shit back when Manipulator first came out. I was obsessed. My friends could not get into them but who cares? Then I saw them and Envy on the Coast play in Nashville and I got to touch Thomas' SG and it was amazing. CHON is this decade's The Fall of Troy but with more skill and less screaming on helium
The amount of technical ability here is just incredible. And to have it all coordinated, and to have it all memorized, and to have started when they were 14? That's incredible.
This band got me into modern progressive music back in 2013 shortly after I picked up a guitar many years beforehand, if it weren't for this video and the folks at Audiotree/KEXP and lots of other musical communities nationwide we'd never find these types of uncut gems. I really really miss Chon, they haven't released a new title in years and rumours are that they've discontinued as a band, despite it never being officially announced. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be the artist I am today and discovered countless others i.e (Plini, David Maxim Micic, Tigran Hamasayan etc). If ever you guys come out of hiding and read this comment, Thanks alot Mario and Erick. I don't know if you'll ever come back, but what you did in such a short time was revolutionary to me and countless others, much appreciated.
How in the world do they remember all the different sections to each tune??? There’s only a few hundred thousand different breaks to a song. Blows my mind! And they are TIGHT as can be! These dudes are unbelievable. Great stuff.
I think its BECAUSE theres so many changes that it helps memorization. If it was all the same shit then itd be harder to memorize the changes. At least in my experience
Can’t believe they broke up, just such a melancholy thing thinking about the fact that they are no more, they split up while they were in the process of crushing math rock forever
He definitely doesn't. I think his older brother always kinda unintentionally steals the spotlight. But Nathan (the drummer) has gotten noticeably better and better over the years and has some serious chops nowadays. He actually played their first show with them at 11 years old, if I remember correctly. There used to be a bad quality video of it on here somewhere.
I write music for people, but it feels like chon writes music for me. I could vibe to these beautiful lines, chord progressions, key changes and neat time sig changes that they make sound so smooth.
This is one of those bands that remind you that there are god given gifts. It doesn't matter how much I play the drums I truly feel I could never grasp these drum parts. He plays everything so effortlessly. These guys are a pure masterclass and they're / were just young men.
@sREUDIAN fLIP Right, that's at least what I was taught in my beginning classical guitar class, and also hammering on, pulling off and harmonics were also apart of that. I don't remember ever being taught tapping or sweep-picking even in my intermediate class so I would definitley agree that is at least a advanced technique.
the right tabs if you find one. are actually not so complex as you think it is. since they like to do repeating licks in major key very unlike your typical prog song that likes to change. its the speed they play thats pretty dope. but its definitely some advanced song writing in drum and guitar parts.
Sumail ya it might not be as complex as it seems, I'm gona check tabs out and see what's up. I love this shit, reminds me of music me and my fend play but they are on another level lol
Ya that's true, I've been trying ro get bands together forever but I can't get people to commit and really practice everyday . Practice and dedication is all it takes really
these guys are inspiring, makes me wish i took the guitar more seriously when i dabbled with it via HS class at 16. 23 now and i realize i wanna take it serious and master it and grow to make a living out of it. feels like im starting too late but i know a few licks off a few fav songs. just got a feeling to share that. anyone in a similar boat?
DJ chronic guitar and boxing was what I wanted to dedicate my life to since I got out of high school. Now 29 after studying tourism, massage therapy and having worked multiple jobs, still feel lost and empty. I still play but I'm not as good as my second year with the instrument. When it comes to music you shouldn't worry about being a virtuoso worry about learning and expressing yourself. Big fan of Steve vai and Metallica. Debating going back to school, I feel like I'm super late especially paying student loans, but quite honestly nothing would make me happier now than working in relationship with music and competing in fighting games. I'm a dishwasher now and debate what future do I want, I'll tell you this I want to be happy and I know what makes me happy. Peace
Ive taken guitar semi seriously since i was about 17 I'm now 23 and i still feel like a beginner. I stick to mostly punk stuff, something like this seems out of reach but it really depends how dedicated you are.
This was 2yrs ago so who knows where you are, but it wasn't too late.. I had started playing guitar at 12 played incessantly until about 18. Got into drugs, sold all my gear, abandoned it seemingly forever. At 28, I had the "itch" again started piecing together gear here and there. I'm 38 now, and I play every single day of my life. Don't let various TH-cam videos instill feelings of inferiority or get in the way of something you love.
I just happened on this channel 'which I love' and this band fell in my lap 'which I also love, I owne their discography. I'm in heaven! I didn't know they did this!
I can remember first finding these guys on youtube and thinking to myself, if there was a group that figured out how to communicate to each other through instruments it would be Chon. Its as if they are having a conversation they can only understand but leave the viewer to interpret.
Honestly, Nathan (drummer) is a fuckin' ATHLETE... the stamina it takes to play a lot of these parts (flawlessly) and with how hard he is hitting his kit is crazy 💯🔥
I keep coming back and watching this like, once a week. I don't think I've ever heard a live set sound so tight. Like, none of them even mess up a little bit even one time.
They sound great don't get me wrong, but radio (where I'm at atleast) is pretty much just top 40 pop songs, hiphop, r&b, k-pop and some easy listening shit mixed in. Their sound is pretty niche, which is why I don't think they're going to get much airplay unless they're some big name rapper or smth unfortunately.
We used to host the full session videos exclusively on our website. Recently, we have been uploading all of our archived full sessions to TH-cam so our fans can choose between watching the individual songs or the whole show.
+Audiotreetv I remember hearing something about Intervals doing a session or was going to do one. Did that ever happen or am I dreaming and need to wake up. lol
Such a talented band… literally the dream band. Finding so many different people who are all on such an insane level of being masters of what they play. God damn
Always come back for inspiration. This was the video that really got me to start practicing drums. Nathan is so insane in this video and it proves you can still sound amazing doing technical stuff while live
So sad these guys just disappeared... listening back in 2024

These guys are super tight. Love their positive sound, super uplifting despite the frenetic pacing. Killer stuff.
Nathan's change up from the album at 15:18 to go half time still gives me the chills in 2024... I miss these guys so much
Damn Audiotree, you gotta get better internet connection if it took you almost 3 years to upload it :D
We used to host the full session videos exclusively on our website. Recently, we have been uploading all of our archived full sessions to TH-cam so our fans can choose between watching the individual songs or the whole show.
Wurf Lmao x). Have to admit that was funny.
+Audiotreetv I remember hearing something about Intervals doing a session or was going to do one. Did that ever happen or am I dreaming and need to wake up. lol
thank you baby
It did happen but never published for certain reasons
2023, still my go-to video when I feel unmotivated to do anything. I also miss them homeys. hopefully they make a comeback in the future!
I hope to compose this well someday!
Such a talented band… literally the dream band. Finding so many different people who are all on such an insane level of being masters of what they play. God damn
Always come back for inspiration. This was the video that really got me to start practicing drums. Nathan is so insane in this video and it proves you can still sound amazing doing technical stuff while live
Still listening in 2025. I miss CHON
came here for drums, left after after I came.
chon still is the most creative and skilled instrumental band there is out there
