about
These veteran rockers spent most of 2009 touring the U.S., playing over 130 shows in 8 months, visiting 31 states, and performing with acts like Rev Theory (Interscope), Framing Hanley (Warner), Smile Empty Soul (FOF/EMI), Burn Halo (ILG), Pop Evil (Universal), Papercut Massacre (Wind-Up), Uncle Cracker (Atlantic), and New Medicine (Photo Finish). Their debut single “Too Broken To Mend” received major airplay across the country, breaking into regular rotation in over 40 radio markets in July of 2009. All of this was done without management or a record label, which showed the bands eagerness to be heard. “Looking back, I think it was pretty ballsy of us to live in an RV for 8 months, tour the country with virtually no money, no management, no record label, and play shows every night with the attitude like we were the biggest band in the world,” explains singer TJ Chopelas. It’s that kind of grassroots work ethic that has helped Track Fighter earn a significant national following. Their EP “Band Aids For Bullet Wounds”, produced by Beau Hill (Warrant, Ratt, Bob Dylan) has sold over 5,000 copies, including downloads from Itunes and Amazon.com, as well as physical CD’s sold at shows. Pretty impressive for a band that didn’t have an album in stores, or a major marketing campaign going on while on tour. In June 2010, Track Fighter enlisted the help of Michael Rosen (Papa Roach, AFI, Joe Satriani, Smash Mouth) to produce their new record. The as yet untitled album will be finished
