Getting knocked down and kicked around isn’t something you want to happen to yourself and is hard to rebound from. Most people get depressed and slowly come out of it, but Chandler Lehr came back fighting. Chandler, or Chad for short, was rising in Indy’s pop-punk scene with the band My Hidden Track. My Hidden Track had went through difficult time in the past with members changing but now had a solid line up. They released a CD and had been playing shows that everyone loved. Chad was part of one of the best bands in Indiana then got stabbed in the back. He was kicked out of his own band. This couldn’t have been easy on anyone. Working so hard and getting so far then it all gets taken away, but Chad didn’t let his set backs in life stop him. He took his situation and didn’t his old life stop him from being friend with members of MHT. He took his situation and showed how amazing he is.
This is where This is Me was born. Taking a look at him self Chad wanted to create something that was him. Taking from his influences in Say Anything and Hot Rod Circuit, Chad started to create songs about himself and his life. He wrote from his heart. Creating melodic guitar riffs with his rough voice make beautiful songs while still hitting hard. Even though he played new songs at his first acoustic show back, he still captivated the crowd into his life with his emotional lyrics. Getting his fans singing along to new songs people barely or didn’t know with out in trouble showed he was doing it right. Then Chad took it a step further.
This is Me has grown in size to a full band. Chad took members of other bands in the Indy region to create what I believe is one of the best bands out of Indy. With Andy Heck on drums, Jari Nation on guitar, Dylan James on synth/keys, and Carter Seaton on bass, This is Me hits harder than every before with the same musicality of just Chad. All the members have pushed this band to untold regions of music and are going to go even further.
Anyone into great pop-punk/punk-rock music should check out This is Me. I highly recommend you listen to there music.
