Chisel was a punk rock band from the United States that existed between 1990 and 1997. Known for their energetic performances and raw sound, Chisel quickly gained a loyal following in the underground music scene. Influenced by bands such as Superchunk, Archers Of Loaf, and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Chisel's music embodied the spirit of punk rock with its catchy hooks and rebellious lyrics.
During their seven-year career, Chisel released several albums that showcased their unique blend of punk, indie rock, and post-hardcore. Their music resonated with fans who appreciated their honest songwriting and powerful live shows. Chisel's impact on the punk rock genre can still be felt today through bands like Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, and Braid.
Although they disbanded in 1997, Chisel left behind a lasting legacy in the world of punk rock. Their influence continues to inspire new generations of musicians who are drawn to their authentic sound and DIY ethos. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, exploring Chisel's discography is sure to ignite your passion for punk rock.

In late 1996 Chisel decamped from their native D.C. to Brooklyn's Rare Book Room. The power trio of Ted Leo, Chris Norborg, and John Dugan teamed with engineer Nicolas Vernhes and came away with Set You Free, a remarkable, but largely overlooked, classic of the era. Originally issued on the venerable Gern Blandsten imprint, the album presaged the turn of the century '60s rock revival, providing a counterpoint to second-wave emo. This deluxe 25th anniversary remastered edition supplements the original's 17-song track list with five period alternates and rarities, plus a booklet of lyrics, photos, and an essay by Jes Skolnik. Get ready for the invasion.
