Check out a short promo video featuring “All The Night” 

With ‘Put ‘Em Up’, CH3 has delivered a career-defining album. Written and recorded in the wary post-election days of 2017, the collection of 10 songs are connected as a tightly focused novella, a ‘concept album’ by nature of the timeframe and frame of mind in which it was recorded. The music remains refined punk with traces of classic ’77 Brit to 80’s hardcore, power pop rock, which combined, make up the CH3 sound.

The album sees the reunion of several long time CH3 conspirators. Past Channel 3 member and Posh Boy house producer Jay Lansford returned to produce. Jim Monroe of Racket Room Studios engineered and mixed the songs, and Mark Rainey is relaunching the venerable TKO record label with this new release. Seve Soto (Adolescents) lends his sweet backing vocal charms. It is a homecoming on all fronts.

A timely and urgent commentary on current events, with clean, visceral lyrics and a blistering soundtrack provided by long time bassist Anthony Thompson and new drummer Nick Manning.

Some of the songs reference back to the band’s earlier political works such as “Manzanar”, as those concerns seem more relevant than ever. Other songs deal with the politics of the heart and themes that have become a trademark of the bittersweet CH3 songbook.The stark Fighter Stencil imagery done by Kiyoshi “lucky” Nazazawa for the cover art is the perfect complement to the combative music within.
