“Chuk Cooley is a F-5 size twister of acoustic music and street style spit wisdom, twisted with his lyrical slang and storytellers theme it is not for the faint of heart. Its hardcore wisdom through the eyes of an honest sinner. The music is warm inviting Southern. This 7 time award winning, 14 time nominated Texas and Oklahoma underground music video and film star howls from the gut with so much emotion and raw rage at times, the passion will make the hairs on your arms stand up. Cooley's truth and music come from life itself and how it can guide you through the harsh times. This is a must see event that this writer suggest you do not miss when you get the chance to see. Its like going to church with beer, whiskey and a class of true outlaws, rebels and freaks. For a 1 man show I give Cooley 4 and a half stars out of 5. This was something I needed and didn't even know it. - Steven Sevens / Detroit Rock Rag”

“There is something magical and special about watching a man who has lost himself find his way back home. Chuk Cooley sing's with the kind of power people no longer expect from rock ‘n’ roll singers. His truly into what his doing as a solo artist and Cooley's story of where his been and whats his learned moves me and those around that are watching and listening should be moved to. Fist razed high to you Chuk Cooley! -Journey Wolfe / Journalist”

“If you haven't seen Chuk Cooley's solo acoustic guitar show then you don't know what your missing. It's a must if your into real life lyrics and songs that take you on an emotional hell ride. That finds strength, courage, hope and triumph in the end. You will hear songs with titles like Your Driving Angry, Everything Goes Black, Creeping Across Razors,The Devil in Me,Tell Myself the Truth, Redeem the Rebels, World Upside Down, Dying Inside First,Through the Thorns and one of my favorites his remake of the Faster Pussycat 80's hit House of Pain. As well as many more of his rough and tough brand of acoustic life rock. Chuk Cooley solo with out his band the Demon Hammers is something different and very refreshing and it's life and music stripped down to the complete real and raw, with a message for everyone. "Fist Raised High to you Chuk Cooley may you live on a long time!"- by Journey Wolf --- Dallas Tx”

"CHUK COOLEY is a one man show that rocks the soul!" - Glen Jenkins / Taylor Made Acoustic Rock Magazine

“““The Way You Love Me” indeed is a true metal ballad, and the poignancy and emotion of where Cooley’s at rings true in both his voice and instrumentation. It is a dedicated love song that is as soul baring as past endeavors have been, and as sensitive and vulnerable as other of Cooley’s songs are fighting-ly graphic. ” Christy Compton-Smith - The CurrentMagazine”

““Write about what you know…we’ve all heard it, and edgy tell it-like-it-is metal rocker Chuk Cooley may be one of the best examples of that adage being true.

“There have been many times that I wanted to yell a "Preach on Brother Chuk!" or "Lawd, yes, tell it! Tell it!" at a CCDH concert, lol. Chuk is a minister to the masses of unwashed, unloved, beat down, rejected and toxically infected..., bringing the Light of Love and Hope and of Faith in something more and something better than what they can see today. An Injection of Inspiration to overcome their own adversity by clinging to the fact that Chuk was once in the same position, face down, nose full of dirt and restriction. And God Bless him for being Honest. And God bless him for saying at every show "Just in case you haven't had someone tell you today, Chuk Cooley and the Demon Hammers fukin love you!" A CCDH show is church, and rock n roll, and party rolled into one. But I think that is what heaven is like anyway” — Traci Beagle-Sawyer , FANS comment on facebook”

““Cooley's stage presence is that of a preacher with an all-too-intimate knowledge of the fires and brimstone of hell. He has survived years of incarceration and drug abuse only to rise above and preach positivity and redemption in a manner only a sinner could.” — C.M. Rodriguez, Urban Tulsa magazine”

“Chuk Cooley-Born and bred in Texas, He is a Tulsan now,serving as the front man for his band the Demon Hammers.This stage-loving bad boy has the street-wise to match his rough & tough persona, & the talent & drive to translate his hard-knock life of addiction & prison into melodic tunes. Survival of the fittest keeps Cooley rising to the top to continue his metal-head legacy.-Joe Wertz” — Joe Wertz, urban Tulsa Magazine”
