Choking Ahogo is a pop band made up of drums by Chris Stutsman, bass guitar by Bryan Ray, and guitar and vocals by Peter Wagner. The three members have been together in some shape or form since 1996. Along with various self produced demos, including some songs recorded as the Eggs at the Sweatbox in Austin, Choking Ahogo has recorded one full-length album, Citrus. Since the album's release, the band has been playing steadily in Austin (Flamingo Cantina, Beerland, Room 710). The band has also been giving out self produced demos as new songs are recorded, culminating in the release of Room 18. These recordings have been played on local radio (KROX, KLBJ, and KGSR), with regular spins on Andy Langer's weekly show "The Next Big Thing." Choking Ahogo recently signed a deal with the Foundry, a record label and production company co-founded by producer Mike Clink (Guns n' Roses), and is scheduled to go in to the studio with Mike in October 2002.

The band's sound has been characterized by it's melody, noise, and energy, and has been compared with the likes of Hüsker Dü, Superdrag, and the Flaming Lips and exhibits influences including Elvis Costello, Guided By Voices, and Firehose.
