The Chain is the alliance of Curran Reynolds, Justin Pearson, and Brandon Gallagher. These three friends and music industry veterans teamed up in 2016 to channel their expertise and passion into a new collective creating dynamic PR campaigns for artists they believe in.
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Curran Reynolds started his PR career in 2000 as the head of publicity at Earache Records' US office, representing the likes of Morbid Angel and Deicide, then set out on his own in 2005 to work independently with some of the most compelling artists in the realms of metal, hardcore, and beyond. As the founder of acclaimed NYC party Precious Metal, he booked and promoted over 300 live events. His writing has been published in VICE, Mass Appeal, High Times, and more. Having played in bands for decades as a drummer, he now makes music under the name Body Stuff. As a visual artist, he creates music videos, album covers, and flyers.
Based in San Diego, California, Justin Pearson is a musician and label owner who has helped shape the course of the indie music scene since the early '90s. He is the founder of Three One G Records and a member of such bands as The Locust, Dead Cross, Deaf Club, and Planet B, to name a few. He is the author of several books, including From the Graveyard of the Arousal Industry and How To Lose Friends and Irritate People, and a film actor, appearing in Asia Argento's Incompresa with Charlotte Gainsbourg as well as his infamous prank on Jerry Springer's show and his debut cartoon voice as an elf on an episode of Uncle Grandpa.
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Brandon Gallagher is a musician, publicist, and all around content creator. As the drummer, visual artist, and business mind behind Old Wounds, he quickly built that band up from scratch into a national act on Warped Tour. He is now making music with his solo project Trace Amount, and is the drummer / vocalist of "feral rock" duo Coarse. His artwork has appeared on the shirts, flyers and websites of countless bands while his eye for design provides the basis for The Chain's aesthetic.
