· They recently played their first headline gig in London and it was a blinder! Debut album “Ever, Never or Now?” is available to download at iTunes and more AND they’re going into the studio to start recording the next album about now (should be out by the Summer).
The Chase is a four-piece band from Portsmouth with plenty of energy, passion and a bag full of proper tunes. Originally formed in 2004, there followed the usual evolutions, revolutions and dissolutions, from which the current line up emerged in March 2010.
The Chase spent the best part of 2008 and 2009 polishing their sound and live presence with gigs around the Portsmouth and Southampton areas. This typical apprenticeship covering classic British rock songs by bands like The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones helped to form a vision for how The Chase should sound and build a solid fan base.
Ralph Humby joined the band in March 2010 and there was an instant chemistry, prompting an immediate entry to the studio to begin work on original songs that would become the debut album “Ever, Never or Now?”
Released in September 2010, the record features 10 brand new, original songs with apparent but varied influences from The Jam, The Coral and Stereophonics to White Stripes and Kings of Leon.
