Artist description Chances Are is a four member melodic punk band that hails from Folsom, California. Their music features heavy breakdowns, hard-hitting guitar riffs, and heart-felt lyrics. Chances Are was born out of E.J.I., a band consisting of current members Erik Fidel (vocals/bass), Joshua Castillo (guitar), and Isaac Fratini (drums). After five months of tearing it up as E.J.I., they took a nine-month hiatus while Josh went to school in Europe. Soon after he returned, Chances Are was formed with the added bonus of Derrick Fields on guitar and back-up vocals. With Derrick in the band, the guys stashed the typical pop-punk sound and have developed a harder, edgier style with driven guitar arangements and soaring vocals. So far Chances Are has garnered a loyal following, and have shared the stage with bands such as Face To Face and No Motiv (Vagrant), No Use For A Name (Fat Wreck Chords), Yellowcard (Capitol), Park (Lobster), Rock Kills Kid (Fearless), Ozma (Kung Fu), and many more. The guys have a six-song demo that has sold over 1200 copies exclusively at shows in under a year, and are about release a self-titled, full-length album this coming fall. Chances Are is just beginning, but they have a bright future ahead of them.
