CHELSEA AUTOMATIC

“One of the more impressive debuts to emerge from Columbus lately - slick, brash, catchy and reminiscent of British breakout bands like The Kooks and Arctic Monkeys.”
- Columbus Alive

“Live shows find Chelsea Automatic with its members frequently upside-down while playing or singing. On stage, depending on how much of whatever has been consumed, their polished recorded sound gets deconstructed in favor of a charmingly sloppy aesthetic - the kind of reckless rock n' roll circus they've cultivated from countless local and out of town shows. The musicians' camaraderie is nearly as infectious as their sleazy hooks, and it is extended to the audience for a beer-sloshing, crowd-surfing sideshow.”

For Columbus, OH’s Chelsea Automatic, 2010 has been intoxicating, inspiring…interesting to say the least. From their Top 5 finish in the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World indie band competition, to getting the news they’ll be featured on the upcoming season of MTV’s The Hard Times of RJ Berger, winning free guitars (Thanks to FMF and Gibson!), losing those gorgeous guitars to filthy thieves, releasing two EPs, meeting an estimated 87 billion new people through their travels...yeah, it’s been interesting. Highlights of the band’s tour triumphs include their CD release party at Columbus’s legendary Newport Music Hall, guest spots on the Vans Warped Tour, M.E.A.N.Y. Fest in NYC, the Main Stage at Florida Music Festival, and, opening for Weezer this past fall at The Ohio State University’s Welcome Week. Popular blog, The Buzzin Box, sums the boys up best: “With a sound that is riveting and fresh Chelsea Automatic will surely be a household name in the near future.”
