Chet have recently reached the final stages of both the Xfm and Glastonbury unsigned competitions gaining attention from various sections of the music industry as well as plenty of fans of their unique blend of genres along the way. Sounding not unlike a World War II zeppelin popping in an arsenal factory, Chet do rock music with proper tunes and glorious planet-crushing choruses and pop music with heart and a glint in its eye

“Fantastic” Claire Sturgess - Xfm
“Chet are a mammoth band that offer up, live anyway, a great show... zany, quirky, fun and loud... definitely a band worth catching.” Emma Nixon ‘The List’ Magazine
