Biography

The hard and heavy Chore formed in January 1995 in the small town of Dunnville, Ontario; the band is comprised of Christopher Bell (vocals/guitar), Michael Bell (bass/guitar), and David Dunham (drums). In May of that year, Brian Pettigrew (bass) joined the band; Pettigrew and Dunham had met in 1994 during a short stay at the Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital. Chore's full-length debut, Another Plebeian, was released by Sonic Unyon in May 1997; Take My Mask and Breathe followed in May 1999. ~ Gina Boldman, All Music Guide

Chore was a Canadian alternative rock band that formed in January 1995. They released three albums on the Sonic Unyon indie label in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada: Another Plebeian in 1997, Take My Mask and Breathe in 1999, and The Coastaline Fire in 2002.

Their video for the single "General Warning" won a "Best of the Wedge 1999" award from broadcaster MuchMusic, while the video for "The Hitchhiker" saw airplay on MuchLOUD and MTV's 120 Minutes. The songs "The Hitchhiker" and "Burr" were both featured in an episode from the first season of Fox's 24.

Chore disbanded in April 2004. Lead vocalist Chris Bell continued to produce music under the moniker Alive and Living, until recently joining Mitch Bowden and David Dunham to perform in Don Vail and The Priddle Concern, along with Bill Priddle (formerly of Treble Charger).
