The emerging rock band Chasing Straights has been performing its shredding guitar solos, mind blowing drum fills, and layered guitars and vocals since 2020. Based out of the Philadelphia area, Chasing Straights’ music wrestles with finding oneself and overcoming internal struggles by way of rock and roll.
