Out there Friday sixteenth December
The Chance, self proclaimed ’sketchy indie band’ launch their debut album Proper Swipe Technology.
The Plymouth 4 piece are made up of Tom (Guitar/ Vocals), Daniel (Lead Guitar), Ben Lawer (Bass) and Callum (Drums). Shaped in 2018, The Chance first got here to the eye of Louder Than Warfare when their first single, the albums title observe was despatched in for airplay initially of 2022. For a band who stated they had been ‘simply 4 mates having fun and making tunes’ it was a promising begin.
Quick ahead virtually 12 months and the debut album has arrived, recorded over two weekends at PMC (Plymouth Music Collective) a group primarily based undertaking established in 1988 offering inexpensive rehearsal and recording providers for the musicians of Plymouth and surrounding areas. It’s nice that there are locations like this on the market, away from the main cities, for younger bands resembling The Chance to make use of as they hone their craft and develop.
Coming to that point of yr the place ‘new releases’ are primarily compilations and the airwaves are stuffed with festive tunes this 13 observe album was most welcome. I used to be already conversant in the singles launched Proper Swipe Technology; Rush Hour Visitors; Can’t Sit Nonetheless and No Time for Cash, all of which had seen the band rising in confidence. I wasn’t upset.
The band clarify, “Proper Swipe Technology is because it says on the tin, an album concerning the youth of at this time: battered and tattered and torn aside. The songs cowl an array of subjects that are acquainted to virtually all of us. Nervousness, paranoia and shedding management of 1’s self. How issues may change within the close to future and the way some issues might all the time keep the identical. The sensation of failing at life and rising up by a number of recessions, value of dwelling disaster and a pandemic. Leaving you skint, working on a regular basis and questioning what the hell is happening. Proper Swipe Technology: loud, abrasive and in your face!”
My private favorite observe on the album is the second, Nothing To Declare. With a killer riff and thunderous drums to start adopted by Tom’s spoken vocals, sometimes verging on venomous. It’s obtained the kitchen sink thrown at it however it works.
It’s an assured debut with loads of selection, from catchy hooks to heavy licks. This can be a younger band whom I’m wanting ahead to listening to extra from over the approaching years.
The Chance’s album launch present will likely be held at The Underground in Plymouth on Saturday twenty eighth January The band have 3 help bands deliberate and can carry out Proper Swipe Technology in it’s entirety.
