Melody Meets Power! Chariots Race combines sweet yet strong, male and female vocal harmonies with an instrument style that swings heavyweight, prizefighting punches in rhythm-based hooks while incorporating melodies that dance between the punches like ballerinas. While musical touchstones include The Who, The Beatles, U2 and indie artists such as Giants Chair, Ida, and Jawbox, Milwaukee Wisconsin’s Chariots Race is neither bound by nor limited to these influences. Chariots Race takes the reigns with a unique approach. So hold on tight and brace yourself for the ride they'll take you on.

Singer/guitarist Greg Steffke (Compound Red—Desoto Records) started Chariots Race with long time musical collaborator Brian Simons (The Kiwi Waltz—Divot Records). Quickly the two recruited Erin Wolf to add her angelic voice and Chuck Engel on drums. As time moved on new directions were formed replacing Engel with Kevin J. Frank (Haymarket Riot—Divot Records/Thick Records, Traluma—Caulfield Records, Kiwi Waltz—Divot Records, Gauge) a profound drummer and an excellent songwriter, and adding a Fender Rhodes to Wolf’s duties. The result is songs that will attack with a precise sweetness.
