Choplogic

About

“Growing up in Big Lake, I don’t know how I ever survived” snarls Choplogic singer Jason Albus; a misfit forced to grow up outside the cultural reach of the nearby big city, teased by its obvious upper hand. Jason and his crew of beautiful losers, Chad, Joe, and Jonathan responded with a fierce catalog of classic albums over their twenty year prowl, producing classic songs like “Make Yr Exit” and “Betty Lou’s Diaphragm”. They rocked, from the age of thirteen, for many mighty years, and at the peak of their power, like so many fine bands, dissipated, playing occasionally but never recording again after the superb Rah Raw Radio of 2006. In 2016, Royalty, Etc. asked Choplogic to reunite in the studio with longtime producer Mike Wisti to create a spiritual sequel to the 1999 “Grickle-grass/Choplogic Split”. The stunning “Grickle-grass/Choplogic Split EP” resulted from these 2016 sessions, which brought these two amazing bands back into the studio to lay sonic waste to their respective legacies. Not long after the fantastically successful 2016 sessions, the plan to reissue the entire Choplogic catalog was hatched. With the help of original engineer Mike Wisti, and the Choplogic boys, Royalty, Etc., recovered original master recordings, located lost tracks, and expanded the great albums Arco Iris, Everything And Less, and Rah Raw Radio with fantastic new material. We welcome Choplogic to the Royalty, Etc. roster and offer their complete catalog, remastered and expanded, for the lonelyhearted and afraid.
