Medina-based indie rockers Chomp have announced they have a new lineup. In addition to founding singer-guitarist Joe Boyer, the band now includes bassist Jeff Latimer and drummer Scott Reid. The group has just announced its new 7-inch, the snotty, snarling single “The Rational Anthem,” will arrive on June 9 via Future Boy Recordings. The band has also announced tour dates, and it’ll play Philadelphia (June 9), Brooklyn (June 10), New York (June 11), Baltimore (June 14) and Columbus (June 15) on a short East Coast tour.
