1. Energetic, positive Straight Edge Hardcore from Seattle.
Champion released two EPs, entitled ‘Come Out Swinging’ and ‘Count Our Numbers’ (which were eventually compiled onto one record entitled ‘Time Slips Away’), a single full-length album, ‘Promises Kept’, and a split EP with Betrayed (who featured two members of Champion) before splitting in 2006. Other members of Champion are now involved with The Vows, another Straight-Edge hardcore act from Seattle, as well as On.

***
2. Accomplished composer and multi-instrumentalist, guitar god, producer and deeply rooted DJ within the Montreal electronic music scene, Maxime Morin, also known as Champion, is a prestigious and talented musician.

Music lover since early childhood, he started playing at the tender age of 5, then got closer and closer to what became his partner for life: an electric guitar. Throughout his career, he’s helped form rock and punk bands, before discovering his new passion: electronic music. After 10 commited and productive years of performing and producing (under his alias Mad Max and Le Max), the next natural step was to combine his two main obsessions and release his most important project so far : Chill’em all.

Chill’em all bites, and hard. With its sharp guitars, its sensual grooves and cleverly mixed rythms, it sparks the senses out of you.

Just for your information:- a.) You don't have to be straight edge to like straight edge music, it's the music you are listening to after all, the messages apply to everyone just the same. As Ian MacKaye says: "Straight Edge is not a set of rules". b.) It is good to listen to and take inspiration from a wide array of music. c.) If you don't have respect for other people you do not deserve respect for yourself.
