Hailing from Oceanside, California, CHON is an indie rock band known for its complex instrumental performances.

Following the success of 2015’s Grow and worldwide touring with everyone from Periphery and Animals As Leaders to Circa Survive, the instrumental quartet—brothers Mario and Nathan Camarena and Erick Hansel—returned home to San Diego in the summer of 2016 to begin work on what would become their next musical offering. For the very first time, they rented a rehearsal space a stone’s throw from the ocean, and the beachside locale’s influence courses through 12 virtuosic and vibrant new musical movements.
