Notwithstanding by Chalk Farm
Notwithstanding is an album by Chalk Farm, released in 1996. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Lie on Lie”, on 2 lists with a best position of #93.
Notwithstanding, Chalk Farm's 1996 debut on Columbia, is a slab of lean, hooky alternative rock produced by Matt Hyde. Michael Duff and Orlando Sims split the lead vocals, Duff on guitar and Sims on bass, while Trace Ritter adds guitar and Toby Scarbrough drums, both chipping in on harmonies.
The songs are built on crunchy, mid-tempo riffs and big, open choruses, with enough grit to keep them honest. "Lie on Lie" and "Live Tomorrow" both made Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, reaching No. 13 and No. 35, and the band took the record on the road with Better Than Ezra and Tonic, among others.
