Biography

Many aspiring musicians can only dream of doing some of the things that Treaty of Paris has accomplished in four short years, but the Chicago power pop/rock band is raising the bar with an even more powerful story to tell—and a new EP to boot. The new record, Currents, is just another high point in Treaty of Paris’ journey.

“The songs on Currents reflect our sound as Treaty of Paris, but with more conviction and soul,” says drummer Chris Insidioso. “Currents, pertaining to ocean waves, are a great metaphor for pressing on and moving forward, and that’s what we are accomplishing with this new music.”

Treaty of Paris is Mike Chorvat (vocals), Dan Wade (guitar/vocals), Phil Kosch (guitar), Chris Insidioso (drums), and Nick Fonzi (bass/vocals). The band dedicated the entire last year to writing and recording Currents, which is the follow-up EP to their debut full-length record, Sweet Dreams, Sucker.

For a band that has only been around since 2005, the accomplishments are notable: Treaty toured from the summer of 2007 through the winter of 2008 in promotion of Sweet Dreams, Sucker and partnered with Verizon Wireless and Q101 in Chicago on a national advertising campaign. Treaty has taken full control of their destiny and to date have sold over 10,000 records from live touring efforts alone.

The band has supported major tours across the United States and Canada with such acts as Jack’s Mannequin, Spill Canvas, Yellowcard, Secondhand Serenade, Fun, Eric Hutchinson, Augustana, and Meg and Dia. They were part of Warped Tour in 2008 and played the last two years of Bamboozle, New Jersey’s annual spring music festival. Treaty of Paris has also received accolades and features from music magazines Alternative Press and Guitar World.

    I stepped off the Belmont stop in Chicago today and ran into this band playing a free live show. Never heard any of their stuff, but it was pretty rad.

    I saw them at Warped Tour in San Francisco ! They were great :D They were selling their CD for $5, but I couldn't buy it because I ran out of money and I have no other way to buy it. Mann, I'm so pissed -_-

    K_TrAiN, they're doing GREAT. in case you didn't know, they just finished up touring with The Spill Canvas, Meg & Dia, and Playradioplay! and they're currently getting ready to tour with Yellowcard, The Spill Canvas, & Playradioplay! And they've also got another tour coming up starting in may, so i guess that should be announced in the upcomming months. it should be a really good one ;]
