"CHOCOLATE COVERED WORLD performs crafty, performance-driven hard rock that is engaging & exciting.... like Black Sabbath, Megadeath, and Alice in Chains ...[CCW] uses a heavy sound and a theatrical stage show. Their sound consists of power-driven chords accompanied by psychedlic solo work and funky bass lines. The players come together to produce a tight, unique hard-edged sound. With a thirsty market for performance-driven heavy rock acts, CCW has a good shot at success." - Music Connection Magazine 3/30/03

"[CCW's] music is melodic, trippy and heavy. They successfully [mix] the influences of the Beatles White Album - and Black Sabbath's Paranoid." - Alan Weinstock, TALENT MAGAZINE

Music critics & fans of Chocolate Covered World agree - this band is exactly what the music world needs right now - soulful, real music that ROCKS.

"The name of the band represents a state of mind," says Johnny D. Chewoian (aka "Johnny D") lead guitarist for CCW. "Chocolate releases a chemical reaction that is addictive and euphoric - that's how we feel about the music we create."

Lead singer Byron Richard & guitarist Johnny D have been writing and performing together since their days at the LA County High School for the Arts. Drummer Jango hails from the Azores Islands & bass player Chad Catlett is an Oklahoma native. Within the short year they've been together, the prolific group has written dozens of original songs & is constantly adding new material to their repertoire.

CCW has been compared to classic Pink Floyd, Queen, Tool and Radiohead. Their unique blend of driving rhythms, accessible melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and a dynamic live show have generated a loyal following, packing shows at The Roxy, Viper Room, The Whiskey, and Dragonfly, among others.

Together the band creates a sound and a performance that is as unique and addictive as their name .

Chocolate Covered World is currently in the studio finishing up their full-length CD.
