Choke is a Canadian punk rock band. ==History== With original members Jack Jaggard, Clay Shea, Shawn Moncrieff and Stefan Levasseur, Choke has toured in Canada and the USA. Choke released their first two albums independently, ''Lotion'' in 1995 and ''Give'er'' in 1996, which was later released through Smallman Records who signed the band in 1997. Choke released ''Needless To Say'' the following year, an album that was chosen by Exclaim magazine as one of the top ten punk albums of the year.〔http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/choke-foreword〕 1999 saw the release of ''Foreword''. A departure from the skate-punk sound that defined "Needless to Say", "Foreword" was described jokingly by Shea as the "career killer".〔http://exclaim.ca/Features/OnTheCover/choke-in_sickness_in_health/Page/2〕 Despite this, Exclaim! magazine called the album "a tremendous accomplishment by punk standards".〔http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/choke-foreword〕 Foreword cemented the band's reputation as one of Canada's top punk acts, alongside Propagandhi, Painted Thin, and I Spy. In 2002, ''There's A Story To This Moral'' was released followed by 2005's ''Slow Fade Or How I Learned To Question Infinity'' being recorded in Vancouver, British Columbia with Blair Calibaba (Gob, Propagandhi) and Paul Forgues (Slayer, Nine Inch Nails, Treble Charger), and became the fifth release through Smallman Records. The band was heralded by Exclaim! as "...one of the finest technically progressive bands on the planet."〔(Exclaim! article - March 2005 )〕 In 2007 the band decided to split up after one more tour that would end in Edmonton on June 9.〔http://exclaim.ca/News/choke_call_it_day〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Choke (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
