The Chordaes are a new NYC-based alt pop band featuring Leo Sawikin (lead vocals, guitar); Ethan Glenn (drums); Jesse Serrano (bass); and Max Ventura (keyboards, backing vocals). The Chordaes’ mission is to bring back great, melodic rock, playing what they call Post-power pop, a catchy but sophisticated style that draws on classic rock and pop, refracted through a contemporary sensibility. Philly Mixtape has dubbed their sound “vibey and chill”; and Deli Magazine’s editors named The Chordaes top NYC-based alt rock band of 2015. Their debut album will be released in May.
