Chase City formed in late 2013 with members Tarik Stoneman, Michael Snape & Peter Snape coming together in Hobart's Avalon Studio. The band released their first single 'Waves Of Ours' late that year, a sunny take on the indie-pop genre that was in fashion in the late 2010's. The band was 'Unearthed' by JJJ and opened Falls Festival on the main stage and have since gone on to tour Australia 7 times, playing sold out shows around the country and have supported the likes of Sticky Fingers, Gang Of Youths, Dune Rats, Northeast Party House & many others. In the last year, the band has developed their sound to involve more electronic & punk elements. Chase City took their debut album 'Pressure' on tour through Europe and Australia through 2017. The album saw a great deal of success having been streamed online over half a million times and the lead singles gaining radio play with JJJ & 'Surrounded' being in AMRAP's top 10 radio charts for over a month. Through out the summer, Chase City plans to embark on another headline tour around the country with plans to head back to Europe next year.
