The Chevin

The Chevin formed in 2014 with the release of their debut EP 'Echoes.' The band's name comes from a hill in Yorkshire, and the original lineup included Charlie Honey on vocals, Jonny Tomlinson on guitar, Sam Hird on bass, and Jon Lawton on drums. Their early sound had a raw, emotive quality that connected with listeners, particularly through the anthemic single 'Champion.'

'Champion' became their breakout track, with its soaring melodies and lyrics about resilience. The song helped establish their presence and led to national recognition. Other songs like 'Blue Eyes' and 'Borderland' also became part of their repertoire, showing their ability to craft melodic rock with emotional weight.

After their initial success, The Chevin continued releasing albums. Their second album was titled 'Borderland,' which explored themes of loss and perseverance. They followed with 'Needles,' which took a more introspective turn, and later released 'Sunburnt Souls,' which returned to some of their earlier energy while incorporating new sounds. The band's lineup remained stable through these releases, with Honey's vocals and Tomlinson's guitar work defining much of their sound.

In 2018, the band canceled a tour due to Honey's mental health struggles. This brought attention to the pressures musicians face, and Honey later used his experience to advocate for mental health awareness. Despite this interruption, The Chevin kept working on music, maintaining a focus on creating songs that felt both personal and anthemic.
