Critics and fans alike have praised Choke for their incomparable, innovative, and experimental approach to post-hardcore and punk. Intricately layered, complex and technical, Choke's sound managed to remain distinct and original throughout their entire discography.
Originally forming in 1994, Choke released Lotion in 1995, followed a year later by Give'er. Choke signed to Smallman in 1997 after sending a cassette that had been lodged under the seat of their car for what must have been months. Crinkled, covered in mud and barely audible, that cassette was enough to seal the deal and Smallman released Needless to Say in 1998. Foreword followed in 1999, There's A Story to this Moral in 2002, and Slow Fade OR: How I Learned To Question Infinity in 2005.
