The band plays high-energy melodic vulnerable cathartic rock and roll that bounces and sways, and dips into some Stones feels and Everly Brothers vibes. It’s heavy, upbeat, a sweet and catchy wall of sound, like studio musicians covering The Supremes in the style of The Velvet Underground. 

Their latest release, Love You To Death, came out July 31st and has been on Portland’s XRAY FM (KXRY 91.1 / 107.1 FM) Top 30 Charts placing at eleven. The new record showcases their signature sound “ …stuck in your head before the first verse is even over. And then there's the chorus.” The album embodies the love for music that has kept the band together for the past ten years. It’s a fresh take on rock and roll that’s familiar like an old friend.

"Local band Charts opened with a set of loose and jangly rock and roll that fused psych and garage rock with a touch of power pop sprinkled in for good measure. Perhaps one of the finest bands in Portland, the quintet unleashed a three-guitar attack on songs that bounced from simple rockers to 60’s-esque flower child sounds. Lead singer Michael Rowan held it all together with a voice that at times felt like Joe Strummer but with a shakier, more vulnerable side.” - Glide Magazine

“Charts is one of Oregon's most underrated bands. The group's sound is a swirl of garage, punk and pop rock influences bolstered by the endearingly frayed voice of singer and songwriter Michael Rowan. It's an affect that gives listeners a warm and fuzzy feeling like they've just stumbled into the best house party of the year. In fact, their last single, "Trust In Me," has probably destroyed at least a few Portlanders' living room speakers.The band's newest release, "Anita," is slightly more understated but still a fun ride. The surfy song was recorded at The Map Room in Southeast Portland with producer Josh Powell (who is producing Charts' forthcoming full-length album).” Jerad Walker (OPB)

"For a while now, Charts has been one of Portland’s more underrated bands, playing tight, garage-pop flecked with surfy guitar, ‘50s rock elements and pronounced melodic smarts without coming across like mere retro pastiche. . .” (MS) Willamette Week
