Career

edit

2012–2013: Before Chase Atlantic

edit

Christian Anthony and Mitchel Cave were in a boy band called What About Tonight. They formed the band to audition for season 4 of The X Factor Australia. However, they were eliminated in week two, coming in eleventh place.[1][2]

Mitchel Cave's older brother, Clinton Cave, had a successful YouTube channel, ClintonCaveMusic, where the brothers would release cover songs regularly.[3] In 2012, the three released their first cover together[4] which would be of Bruno Mars' Locked Out of Heaven.[5] Later on, in 2013, they professionally performed together for the first time under the name K.I.D.S. (Kind Imaginations. Destructive Situations.) and released the original song "Addicted."[6] They have since deleted all content from the channel.[7]

2014–2015: Dalliance and Nostalgia

edit

The trio first released music under the name Chase Atlantic when Clinton Cave recruited Mitchel and Christian to assist in recording a university project.[8] The band would get their name, "Chase Atlantic" from nowhere. According to Mitchel, the name Chase Atlantic means nothing, it was a combination of two words that the band members liked, Chase and Atlantic, "We spend a couple of minutes trying to come up with a plausible and profound explanation for their band name. "It [Chase Atlantic] literally means nothing," says Cave. "It's so hard to find band names, we just put two words we really liked together that can't be associated with anything else."[9] Chase Atlantic officially released the EP Dalliance on 26 May 2014.[10] Their early sound was often described as Pop Rock and Pop Punk.[11]

In February 2015, the band released their second EP, Nostalgia,[12] causing their song "Friends" to be associated with multiple Tumblr edits. "Friends" was also later certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in 2022.[13]

Later in 2015, the band caught the eye of Benji and Joel Madden, and they signed the group to their management company, MDDN, in early 2016.[14]

2016–2018: EPs and debut studio album

edit

In January 2016, Chase Atlantic released "Obsessive". They followed up with their third EP, Paradise, in February 2016, which they promoted extensively.[15] [16]

In January 2017, Chase Atlantic released their fourth EP, Part One, to coincide with their signing with Warner Bros. Records. This was followed by Part Two in March 2017. In mid-2017, the band announced their first tour of the United States, opening for Sleeping with Sirens' Gossip: Up Close & Personal Tour.[17][7] Chase Atlantic released Part Three in September 2017.[18]

Their self-titled debut album, Chase Atlantic, was released in October 2017.[19] Later in 2017, they went on a headlining tour in the United States, where they played 16 shows across 11 states, followed by an Australian tour opening for Blackbear.[20][21]

In 2018, the band continued touring the United States by opening for singer Lights and playing US and UK festivals, including Bonnaroo, Vans Warped Tour 2018, and Reading/Leeds Festival 2018.[22]

They released standalone singles "Numb to the Feeling" and "Tidal Wave" in mid-2018.[23] Later that year, they also left Warner Brothers Records and went independent.[24]

2019–2022: Phases and Beauty in Death

edit

The group spent January to April 2019 in Los Angeles, working on their second album.[25] In April, they announced the Phases Tour: North America for the summer of 2019, in support of their second album, Phases, and set the release date for 28 June 2019.[26] The album was preceded by three singles, "Her", "Stuckinmybrain", and "Love Is (Not) Easy", which were released on 10 May, 24 May, and 7 June 2019, respectively.

In 2020, they began work on their third studio album, Beauty in Death, which the band released on 5 March 2021.[27][28] Alongside their album rollout, they also released a collaborative single with dark pop artist Plvtinum, called "Hit My Line".[29] On 2 May 2022, the group announced the release of a deluxe edition of Beauty in Death.[30]

2023–present: Return from Hiatus and Lost in Heaven

edit

In 2023, after a break to work on themselves,[31] Chase Atlantic made their return to the music scene with the release of the single "Mamacita" on 26 September. The track, which blends elements of alternative R&B and pop, marked the beginning of a new era for the band.[32]

On 20 September 2024, they set the release of their next studio album, Lost in Heaven, for 1 November 2024. The album preceded three new singles "Die for Me", "Doubt It" and “Ricochet”, released on 23 August, 20 September and 11 October 2024, respectively, and would also include their previous release "Mamacita".[33]

On 16 October 2024, Chase Atlantic embarked on their Lost in Heaven global tour, with performances scheduled at multiple venues worldwide, which include The Toyota Music Factory in North America,[34] the Riverstage Brisbane in Australia,[35] The O2 Arena in United Kingdom, and the Lanxess Arena in Europe.[36]

Music style

edit

According to the band, their style is "conjured up dark alternative pop punctuated by rock and R&B". Throughout their four years of making music, their music style has changed from an alternative pop sound to a more alternative R&B sound.[37] Their influences include Tame Impala, the Weeknd,[38] the 1975 and The Neighbourhood.[39]
