Their music is largely instrumental-based with only a few songs containing vocal performances. The band consists of Mario Camarena (guitar), Erick Hansel (guitar), Esiah Camarena (bass) and Nathan Camarena (drums). On November 8, 2015, Chon stated via their Twitter feed that they parted ways with Drew Pelisek due to 'artistic differences'. It was also confirmed by Drew on a personal account. Since Pelisek's departure, Chon has had 3 touring bassists, including original bassist Esiah Camarena, who played bass during the Journey's Unplugged Tour. Esiah has returned as a permanent member of the band following his attendance on the Robot With Human Hair Vs. Chonzilla tour with Dance Gavin Dance.
On June 16, 2017, Chon released their second full-length album Homey under Sumerian Records.
Chon began in 2008 with the recording of their four-track self-titled demo. In 2010, the band began a brief hiatus, but reunited in 2011 to record two new songs, "O.G." and "Breathe". They returned in 2013 with the release of their debut EP entitled Newborn Sun. The following year Chon released their second EP, entitled Woohoo!. In 2014, Chon embarked on two consecutive nationwide tours with Animals as Leaders. In December 2014, Chon signed with the record label Sumerian Records, and announced they would be releasing their debut full-length album the following year. On February 5, 2015, the band announced their debut full length titled Grow would be released in March 2015. On March 5, the band premiered their song Can't Wait from the album via Red Bull. They released the album on March 24. Eight days prior the band embarked on a 27 date tour supporting Circa Survive. On December 16, 2015, Chon announced their first full US headlining tour, titled the Super Chon Bros Tour, with accompanying bands Polyphia and Strawberry Girls. They sold out every single show on the tour. Chon was also an opening band during the Sonic Unrest Tour, featuring headliner Periphery, and bands Sikth and Toothgrinder.
Chon endorses Ibanez guitars and Overdrive Straps guitar straps. Guitarist Mario Camarena plays a custom guitar built by Seth Hollander in collaboration with Ibanez as well as an Ibanez RG 421. Primarily, Mario uses a Vox AC30 tube amplifier. Erick Hansel primarily plays Ibanez RG 321 and RG 421 models. Chon's early work was known to largely shun the use of effects pedals. the band started experimenting heavily with effects pedals when writing Homey.
Chon is a progressive math rock band that takes inspiration from a wide variety of sources. While their early music was more metal and shred-based, in the vein of The Fall of Troy and Necrophagist, their sound has changed with new releases. Rock bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers & Rush have also played a huge role in influencing Chon's later works of music. Chon have listed pianists such as Hiromi Uehara, Tigran Hamasyan, and Alex Argento as influences in their music. Chon makes extensive use of seventh chords and inversions in their songwriting, and incorporates odd time signatures typical of progressive rock. They also stand out in that they often use major keys, which gives their music an upbeat, peppy tone. Chon's 2017 album Homey saw the band experimenting for the first time with hip-hop and electronic music, most notably on their single Nayhoo.

Ahora ya estamos más grandes, Now I see you happy and full of light. I'm so proud of you and I really love you.
The next big step is coming, I can feeling. All those troughts about our future, they are not here.
Me encanta verte sonreír.
Perdón si he sido egoísta, yo solo quiero estar bien igual para estar contigo.
En este momento yo diría que te estoy esperando, pero ya no estoy en este momento.
Estoy más adelante jjjjj

Heard this in a Starbucks, goes hard

I can't believe a year has passed since this was first released. Do y'all remember how you felt when you heard this for the very first time? The chills you felt as the intro faded in? The calming of your senses as the twang of each guitar string lulled you into peace? The grin you had on your face as each note fell perfectly in place? We live in strange times, but wherever y'all are I hope that you're doing alright, and that this song brings respite, hope, clarity, awe and vision to you as much as it did the first time you experienced it, just as it has done so for me.

Today was my first listen. Holy hell. This band continues to blow me away. I started by playing Grow for 7 days straight. That album is insane. This is my first listen to this album, but won't be my last. I'm going to round off with Homey.

despite all the negative comments here apparently from guys w/o a soul.... first time here listening to this album/song - but at this point CHON are basically pure life energy in vibratory format for me, idk about you guys, but what's conjured up for me is empathy and love and freedom and being a kid and not giving a f, just being pure spirited. @junglepingu good intentions, my man never give that up for the sake of trolls :)
