ChiodoSupply releases debut album ‘1919’

Hailing from San Diego, ChiodoSupply is a talented artist and viral TikTok sensation who’s recently started sharing his unique musical offering with the world. Drawing inspiration from punk rock vocalists who have transitioned into Americana, like Chuck Ragan and Greg Graffin, ChiodoSupply’s musical journey has always been about creative exploration.

ChiodoSupply first introduced himself to the world in December with the release of his debut single, “City Train.” Now, he unveils his most ambitious project yet; his new debut full-length record titled 1919, a release which crystallises his departure from his punk rock background and marks ChiodoSupply’s pivot into Americana, blending folk, country and blues styles across ten tracks.

Framing themes of determination, identity, and the shared experiences that connect us all, the album is built on storytelling and steeped in the traditions of American roots music. “This album is about finding the beauty and strength in our shared history. It’s about remembering where we’ve been and imagining where we can go,” ChiodoSupply shares.

Opened by his first single “City Train,” playful acoustic guitar notes and banjo twangs combine to set up ChiodoSupply’s bright vocal leads. Spinning bouncy melodic leads and picture painting lyrics, the deft balance of subtly lively arrangement and melancholic context crafts an engaging sound that’s thoroughly catchy and timeless throughout.

With “Broken,” guitar strums and delicate lead notes are met by his rich, soulful vocal performance as the arrangement picks up pace with the steady stomp of percussion. Flowing through moments of stripped back elegance and anthemic Americana peppered with fluttering lead instrumental flourishes, it’s an epic display of dazzling musicianship and poignant songwriting.

“Rebel Song” slows things down with an emotive outing of mellow guitar and piano backing as ChiodoSupply’s impassioned vocals soar above. Aching with emotion, he threads his profound lyricism via gripping delivery to craft a moving and heartfelt sound that gradually builds with airy string textures and stacked vocal layers.

Other highlights on the record include songs like “The Reckoning” which leans into a more uplifting sound via graceful melodic leads and an inviting arrangement of warm bass tones, laid back guitars and playful piano touches. Closing the album with “Salt in the Sky,” bright acoustic guitar strums and silky vocals combine to forge a classic Americana anthem as the sparse pulse of percussion adds a rhythmic anchor, building to a rousing finale brimming with powerful vocal hooks and atmospheric arrangement. It’s a superb conclusion to an incredible debut record, one with signals an exciting musical adventure ahead for this talented artist with a unique voice.
