The band is taking the hard rock scene by storm.

Producing, Recording and has performed with,
Sundae Drives & See You In The Funnies.
Both of which are great examples of the amazing diversity in the local music scene from Cincinnati. 
 

Rogues Cross is yet another great example of the always evolving musical endeavors of Chords. The band has been performing and crafting acoustic, folk driven music together 
for over 14 years.  

Johnny is possibly best known for his role fronting the band  
Another Tragedy. The band was a four piece modern prog/rock group based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The band was formed in the early 2000's alongside members Caleb Campbell, Matt Menard and Lee Dixon. This band was a true powerhouse of musicians. 
They were discovered by the British label Zebra 3 Records which distributed their debut album "The Beauty of Suffering". The album was welcomed by many of today's top music magazines including Kerrang, Metal Hammer & Prog Rock Magazine naming the album "a 2010 must look out for". The band went through a line up change with Eric Chapman and Brad Bellamy moving into the guitar an bass rolls of the band in 2011. They went on to release a second album "Lost Among Dreams".
