Este grupazo británico que empieza a hacerse un hueco en el panorama británico y dentro de poco en el panorama nacional.

Thanks guys!

-How did you start?

This line-up formed in March 2010 after various incarnations since about 2002. We've all known each other since school and share the same musical influences and drive.

--Why that name?

Completely random choice. The property development site that my house was built on in 2001 was called The Chase. Looked good so we had it.

-Influences

We're influenced by everything but the main ones that come through in our music are The Jam, Oasis, Stereophonics, Small Faces, The Coral.

-Future concerts

We're playing the legendary 100 Club, Oxford Street, London on 27th April. Dumbfest, Bordon 5th May and we're currently booking a summer tour. To be confirmed soon.

-I have listened some songs they are quite cool (How do you create it?)

I write all the songs. Generally they all start with a few chords and a melody. More often than not on an acoustic guitar. I tend to finish the music and arrangement before doing the lyrics. Music comes more naturally than words.

-Mod, Rocker, modcker or indie

Mods have always looked the best. I do like some heavier music though but if I had to choose it would be mod.

-UK or America for grow up as a group

I've never been to America so can't really comment but the UK has a rich musical heritage and we're proud to come from the same country as the likes of The Beatles, Small Faces, Stones etc. Nearly all our favourite artists are from England.

-10 songs that do you like.

1. Tin Soldier by The Small Faces

2. Water by The Who

3. Hey Bulldog by The Beatles

4. Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones

5. Old Man By Neil Young

6. I Wanna Be Adored by The Stone Roses

7. Strange Town by The Jam

8. Party Line by The Kinks

9. What is Life by George Harrison

10. Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix

-Do you wanna go to the reading fest?

The line-up is looking good so definitely.

-Do you know the FIB fest? Do you wanna go?

Harry (guitar) went when Oasis headlined and loved it. We're trying to make arrangements to go this year. Looks like a good line-up.

-What do you think about the Indie/rock way at the UK (ambient, new bands…)

Pretty bad. We're from Portsmouth and the music scene is pretty much non-existent. A lot of posing but not much quality music. There are still a few good bands flying the flag for real music in the UK who just need a break.
