Chopper

There are at least six bands named Chopper. 1.) Chopper was a Connecticut-based power pop band formed in 1989 by guitarist/songwriter Steven Deal (Bleached Black), bassist Dean McNulty, and drummer Furgis Allen. Guitarist Robert Dietrich was added before the release of the band's self-titled 1991 CD, and Nick Appleby soon replaced Dean McNulty on bass. (Steven Deal and Nick Appleby later formed The Absolute Zeros.)

Hailing from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, these English lads played fast melodic punk in the style of Snuff, NoFX and Leatherface. Chopper dealt in energetic, buzzsaw, hi-speed tunes with plenty backing vocals and released tracks on German and Australian compilation CDs, a Japanese split 7" and a Fierce Panda compilation 7" in addition to a few releases on Crackle! Records. They played a load of gigs around the UK and toured Japan twice as well as putting a load of bands on at the Players in Wakefield. Then after playing a gig at Leeds Fenton mid 98 they split up the day after, moving on to form other bands such as Torino 74. 3.) Chopper Read, real name Mark Brandon Read (born November 17, 1954) (died October 9, 2013), is a former Australian criminal, rapper, and author.
