The Chariot: An Unforgettable Journey in Music
Origins and Challenges
Emerging from the depths of Savannah, Georgia, The Chariot emerged in 2003 with a raw and unyielding approach to post-hardcore. Their uncompromising sound and intense live performances quickly propelled them to prominence within the underground music scene. However, their path was not without its hurdles. In 2005, bassist John Ryan Davis tragically passed away, leaving a profound void in the band. Undeterred, they persevered, with Joshua Scogin taking over lead vocals and guitar.
