The Laughing Chimes

The Laughing Chimes is a musical project formed by teenage brothers Evan (vocals, guitar) and Quinn Seurkamp (drums) based out of southeast Ohio and also includes bassist Avery Bookman and lead guitarist Matthew Putnam. The band draws inspiration from American and British jangle pop from the 80s and 90s; establishing songs that blend enduring sounds with new melodies. Their 2021 album “In This Town” drew attention worldwide for its brilliantly timeless songs that could have just as easily originated in Athens, GA, or Dunedin, NZ as in eastern Ohio. The brothers began working with legendary indie label Slumberland Records, based out of California, to release their Zoo Avenue EP in late 2022.
