“Unchained is on the right track to hit the "toppermost of the poppermost.”

What? That’s how the Illinois Times, alternative weekly in Illinois’ state capital, announced that their readership had voted UNCHAiNED as “Best Original Band” in Abe Lincoln’s hometown.

Since then, they’ve opened for international legendary bands like Lit, Everclear, Caroline's Spine, Here Come The Mummies and toured with (hed)p.e. They’ve also hunkered down in the Sputnik Sound studios in Nashville with seven-time Grammy winning Mixing Engineer and Producer Vance Powell to produce their debut EP The Psychedelic Picnic… all with the help of Audio Mastering Grammy winner Ted Jensen, Chief Mastering Engineer at Sterling Sound.

And legendary St. Louis rock stations 105.7 The Point and KSHE 95 crowned UNCHAiNED the winner of the "Battle At Busch" in Busch Stadium.

Once in a lifetime chance for an edgy bunch of high school buddies, right? Hardly.

The same production team has signed on for the band’s sophomore album Waterfront. Mike Fahey, formerly with Sputnik Sound is producing and recording from his private studio Starbird Sound in Nashville, Tennessee.

What do these Grammy winners know about UNCHAiNED that you don’t? Simple. Fans crave their high energy mix of funk, rock, reggae, and rap — think 311, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime and Rage Against The Machine thrown in a Vitamix and served with a twist of fun. Known for their positive vibe and frenetic performance, the audience leaves every show better than when they entered, their musical souls nourished.

In 2018, they were just buddies playing gigs at local venues while stumbling toward high school graduation in Rochester, Illinois.

Today, UNCHAiNED is grinding out a national tour to promote their upcoming album Waterfront performing at established rock venues in major metros.

Tomorrow? Some say they’re headed for “the Toppermost.” If you’re looking for a hard-working, talented band with a fan base that grows exponentially at each additional show…
