Chucky's River are an experimental, progressive rock band who's sound can sweep from delicate guitars to hard hitting, harmony laden choruses. Diarmuid Comerford (guitar/vocals) and Cupie (bass/vocals) formed the band in 2008 and began the journey as a three piece, releasing and touring an EP, making a video and building their fan base on both a local and nationwide scale. Damien Walsh (guitar/vocals) joined the band in 2010 and Stephen Rooney (drums/vocals) completed the new line-up in 2011. Since joining the band Damien has brought a new and integral component to the band. We now have four people writing songs and two lead vocalists offering an array of textures and interesting sounds.

2011 has seen the band showcase their new material to packed home crowds and other gigs including The Temple House Festival. The band have been working on songs for their debut album during the year and with Pete Meighan(Dave Couse, North Atlantic Oscillation, Brianna Corrigan of Beautiful South fame) on production duties they have began pre-production. Recording begins in February. 

Once the album is completed, we will be playing a tour to promote the album, including a launch in Dublin in April/May 2012. We will be choosing 4 tracks from the album to make videos for and we will be releasing them over the summer months. We hope to play as many festivals as we can over the year and continue the album's promotion via extensive gigging,radio slots, TV appearances and anything else we can get our teeth into.

- Jackie Hayden of Hot Press "Chucky's River impressed with their recent Our Thursdays performances, and their occasional use of a sax gives the quartet an added texture, so they avoid mindlessly wearing out the guitar, bass, drums
formula. The solid "Personality Crash" has a blues groove that hits all the right spots. They develop the vocal harmonies on "This Ship" which has stinging guitar lines as well."The Town Warp" expresses their gentler side, tasty guitar licks sliding into a sensual song that elicits an expressive vocal. Reliable on disc and worth following up live too."

- Angela Macari O'Looney of MusicReviewUnsigned.com "the combination of three amazing singers, who also have fantastic ability as musicians, is the jewel in the crown for this band."
