Not all of their songs are what you might expect. Some are about girls and relationships. Some are just about life, but the one thing you can count on is they are written from a perspective that is encouraging and positive. No death metal here. In a world where kids are increasingly exposed to death and violence, Chrome Donuts offers a distinct alternative.

Chrome Donuts’ fans come in all ages, but their largest fan base is under 25. While most bands get their start in clubs where the above 21 crowd hangs, Chrome Donuts has had to struggle to get where they are without giving in to that scene. It’s not a question of prejudice; but their hearts are to provide a scene for the under 21 crowd, along with the others. It’s simply impossible to do that and only play clubs.

Band members include David Rutledge on guitar and lead vocals; Ben Collins on Bass guitar and back-up vocals; Matt Potenza on Drums. The band has been together for two years; although in March of 1998, they went through a major change in style which erupted into the melodic punk rock which they play today.
