Passenger is a four piece rock band out of Boston. 　　Typically categorized as indie-pop, a listen to their 　　latest EP "Late Tonight" and their live set would show 　　very obvious traces of influences from vintage 　　Beatles-like sounds, to modern, yet aggressive melodic 　　British rock. 　　 　　Fans of bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, Travis, and 　　the Doves are sure to take a liking to these guys. 　　 　　The quartet find their origins in the center of 　　Boston. Background of the foursome include solid 　　tenureship among top Boston bands; now these four have 　　combined to form Passenger. 　　 　　Chris Linnane (vocals), experienced singer-songwriter 　　and former art student fronts the band, combining 　　heartfelt, well-thought, lyrics with 'sing songy' type 　　arrangements. Original members Sanjay Jain (bass and 　　pianos) and Gautam Chhada (guitar), former bandmates 　　with another well-known Boston act, bring controlled 　　chaos, and a driving sound to the melodic pop elements 　　of Passenger. Jimmy Hiatt (drums) holds the band 　　together, having joined after a migration from 　　post-mod, session drumming to a permanent drum seat 　　with Passenger. 　　 　　These guys have experience playing some of the best 　　venues in the Northeast and even overseas. Places 　　include great Boston locations like the Middle East 　　upstairs and downstairs, TT the Bears Place, the Milky 　　Way Lounge, the Paradise, the Great Scott, and others. 　　 Venues in New York and Providence include the Acme 　　Underground, the C-Note, the Luna Lounge, and others. 　　 　　The band can be contacted via email at 　　info@passengeronline.com.
