BAND TOURING IN SUPPORT OF GRAVITY IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT; CD IN STORES NOW
MUSIC VIDEO FOR “WE’VE GOT POCKETS LIKE IT’S NOBODY’S BUSINESS” NOW ONLINE

Touring in support of its most recent release, Gravity Is What You Make It, the band is the first west coast ska-punk band signed to indie label giant Victory Records in over a decade. The album has been getting raves from tastemakers such as the UK’s Rock Sound who claims, “Amidst a sea of palm trees and beach shorts, SoCal’s Chase Long Beach are here to cheer us all up, injecting their hi-res, high energy ska punk sounds right into the heart of the deepest, darkest discontent.”

The band’s latest video for “We’ve Got Pockets Like It’s Nobody’s Business” was directed by KROQ DJ Kurt St. Thomas, who also helmed Brand New’s video for “The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows.” You can watch the Chase Long Beach video here!

Since 2002, the seven men and women of Chase Long Beach have been making a name for themselves with musical originality and creating a sound they can be proud of. Working hard from their home turf of Southern California and reaching out to live audiences around the world, the result has been a musical phenomenon and energetic live performance that speaks to their wide audience and provides the answer to the next wave of ska-punk sound.

Canada’s reggae-enthused illScarlett feels like a mix of Sublime meets No Doubt with a dash of Goldfinger thrown in for good measure. A cast of chill characters raised on their parents’ Beatles and Queen records, and influenced by the likes of Nirvana, Incubus, Beck, The Police, and Foo Fighters, the Mississauga, Ontario, Canada natives built the initial framework for illScarlett’s infectious sound, perfect for fist-pumping punk/pop/reggae jams, by cultivating, shaping and finessing their songs into their own signature creations.

They could be described as a rhythm and reggae influenced, filthy dub band that takes no prisoners, but just go to an illScarlett show and you’ll find a slew of sweaty, screaming kids who are fans of hip-hop, punk and emo, charged full of frenetic energy, jumping off the stage and rolling in the pit.
