\"\"Have you heard about this radical battle of the bands that Music & Arts happens to be putting on? In case you haven\u2019t, you can check out some information on it here<\/a>. It plans to be fabulous. It plans to be fun. It plans to be \u2026 a battle. In anticipation of the extravaganza, we reached out to all seven finalists and asked them all\u00a0the same five questions. What shall we do with the five answers we received to the five questions? Well, we shall share them with you. That\u2019s what we shall do. We began with Israel Creek<\/a>,\u00a0Nasim Siddeeq<\/a>, Will Wood And The Tapeworms<\/a>,\u00a0and now, next up is Chase Matkin of Chill Russell, who will be representin\u2019 South Austin, Texas. They\u2019ll be competing Thursday night. The fun begins at 5 p.m. The venue is Champions. Go rock. Go roll.<\/p>\n

First, tell us a little about the band. How did it come to be, how long have you been together and how would you describe your music?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chill Russell started in the summer of 2015 as a recording project among friends. These recordings would become our debut self-titled EP, and we began playing live shows as a band in February of 2016. Our sound is a unique combination of each of our unique musical tastes, ranging from the pop harmonies of the Beatles and Beach Boys,\u00a0to the post-grunge alternative rock of the ’90s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
