East Texas singer/songwriter Chris Edwards has honed his musical vision into one that blends the old-timey folk and string band country music that his grandparents played for him as a child with liberal doses of elements out of the rock 'n' roll textbook. Love, life and loss are touchstone subjects in his lyrics, and coupled with his catchy melodies and ragged-but-right vocals, the songs become characters themselves. Through many of Edwards' lyrics, the portrait of a sensitive man ill-equipped to deal with many of life's changes comes through clearly. Having been around, and seen life from a multitude of angles, Edwards' musical endeavors have included playing everything from noisy garage band-grade punk to jazz and a few years that he refers to as "bumming around, playing tuneless, elementary rant-punk-folk stuff." His solo (in the truest sense of the word) album "Long Hard Ride" blends many of the musical influences he holds dear. He is currently working on a follow-up LP that is his first foray into full-scale studio recording.

We are LT Henry.

We come from Stanhope so all your threats are empty.

We are fueled by hard liquor and a desire to create.

Eric and Alex make most of the songs.
There are other honorary members that never seem to be around when we want to record, either because they joined the air force or are at rutgers or something else entirely.

We were formed in 2006 in a basement during a night of heavy drinking near music instruments. We started to jam and while it sounded kind of awful we were determined. Later that year we recorded Azariel. It would be our textbook song.

In 2007 we had enough music to throw together an album. Songs for the Criminally Insane, it was called. Because you'd have to be criminally insane to listen.

We never stopped recording, and by September of 2008 we had enough songs to release an EP (That Fight Turned Into a Gunfight EP) and a double album (Night Falls on Sussex County).

It's 2009 and we are working on a new album. I don't think we'll ever stop making music.

Counter Chain is an indie band from Waxahachie, Texas that plays an odd mix of folk and punk. The rebels of the 60s played folk, and the rebels of the 70s played punk. Counter Chain lays foundation in these two great movements, but there’s no shortage of other influences put together to give Counter Chain it’s unique sound. Counter Chain has many members who come and go and come back; a sort of ramshackle orchestra. We started playing in 2007.
