Rock from West Palm Beach, FL



Who are the members in your band and what is their role?
Ok so we have Joe, he plays bass and sings. Then Tommy, who plays guitar, Matt plays drums and (Ryan Cook) play guitar and also sing.  

How did you meet?
Well I actually lived in the same neighborhood as Matt and was looking to form a band at the time. So I saw an add in my neighborhood clubhouse for drum lessons and called the number to ask if he had any students who would like to join a band. Turns out he was my age so we met up and jammed and I ended up joining his band. Then Matt met Tommy through high school. Tommy was wearing an ADTR shirt and they became friends because of it haha. Joe honestly just kinda fell out of the sky. I had a mutual friend and when we were looking for a bass player at the time I decided to randomly hit up this kid that I barely knew.  
                       
How did you decide on your band name?
We used to be Settle The Tides and we decided that we wanted to change our attitude and take this band more seriously, so we changed it to Chaser. Honestly we were just shooting ideas around and that one stuck.

Who are your biggest influences?
Our influences greatly vary. So its hard to say but I'll name a few. Four Year Strong, Nirvana, Seaway, Soundgarden, Superheaven, Basement and Foo Fighters. The list definitely goes on.

We all collectively write the songs.

What are you working on right now?
Right now we are currently writing our second EP.

In May we're going up to Massachusetts to record

We don't really have a favorite venue but there was this really cool show in Ohio that we played in someones basement. So I would say anyones house haha.

What is your favorite state to play?
Our favorite state to play is New York. Great scene, great people.                                    

What is something your fans don’t know about you?
We all love Chick fil a, we could live there.

We're actually planning to tour in July!

I just got home from this banger of a show and I wanted to make a recap post for anyone who wasn't able to come or for anyone who wants to relive the night.




Will's Pub is so far my all time favorite venue in Orlando. They have a huge bar hidden in the back of the venue, a sweet mini arcade in the entrance, tons of seating and chill areas, a great stage, and a really easy load in for the bands. Today was a matinee show and it had a great turn out and perfect weather to match.

Eric Lopciuk on vocals, Cody Unangst on bass and vocals, Matt Tartaglia on guitar, Matt Huntley on guitar, and James Williams on drums. 

One Way!, easycore/poppunk band from Clearwater, kicked off the show with insane energy. If you haven't see these guys live I highly recommend it because they will put you in the best mood. You can listen to there music here.

Tony Murphy on vocals, Jeff Nichols on guitar and vocals, Tim Adkins on bass, and Mark Willberg on drums.

Next were my buds The Year I Disappear, pop punk/emo band from Orlando, and they killed it! Tonight was one of my (any many others) favorite performances by them. They ended with their new single "high road" which a little birdie told me they are in the process of recording so keep your eyes and ears out! You can listen to their music here.

Joshy Sims on bass and vocals, Hayden Cler on guitar and vocals, Danny Strong on drums, and Ian Marchionda on guitar.

Third of the night was LUVLOST; indie/pop punk band from orlando . This was my first time seeing them full band and I was not let down. Those boys can shred hard. They also said they are getting ready to record a new EP and played some of the new songs tonight which have me every excited to hear them recorded! P.S. Their drummer has the most badass drum set I have ever seen. Listen to their music here.

Glen Ramirez on vocals, Evan Torres on guitar, Jared Cove on bass, Evan Cain on guitar, and Joey Crochet on drums.

Bad Year, melodic pop punk bad from Orlando, went next. They had a really tight set and their fans went hard, as usual. Bad Year is leaving for tour this weekend so check their Facebook page to see if they are coming to your area! You can listen to their music here.

Anthony DeMario on vocals, Harry Bormann on guitar, Andrew Bozymowski on bass and vocals, Joseph Mabry guitar, Scott Fisher on drum.

Headlining the show was, Capstan, post hardcore band from Orlando. This picture sums up anything I could write about their set. They are heading out on tour in a few days, make sure you catch them live if they come to your area! You can listen to their music here.




All the bands who played tonight have merch! PLEASE support them through their online stores or by picking something up at a show. It would help them out and mean a lot to them.

This was an incredible show with great bands and amazing fans; huge thanks to Will's Pub for hosting this event. Make sure you follow all the bands on their social media to stay in the loop with any updates they have to share. Also, keep your eyes peeled for interviews from all the bands who played tonight, as well! (if you have any questions you would like them to answer, comment them below)

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more interviews, recaps, and band of the week posts.

*I promise the photo quality will improve! Thank you for baring with me! ♡
