The forgotten band.. are back!
"we realize we disappeared off the face of Earth, but we are back now to rectify that fact"
This has been a rough past couple of months for Chasing The Sun. For numerous reasons, the band declared an un-official hiatus during the Summer. We all went our separate ways, Alex went off to LA to hang and record a solo EP, Lily also went to LA to spend time at home with friends, Nate as you all know left to become the guitarist of Misery Loves Company, Jamie remained here and graduated from high-school and Kris left for New York to start college life as a freshman.
To weeks ago, we all hooked up to talk about the bands future. It was a long talk which came to the outcome that we would reform as a band and continue our dream in the shape of music. However, there was some bad news that would follow this decision; Kris, who is at college decided it would be best for him to leave and pursue a career in a different industry. We 100% respect Kris' decision and wish him the best with life.
So, Me (Lily), Alex and Jamie started the hunt for a new guitarist and drummer early last week. It was a grueling process but one which we are now, really proud of the end result. Please welcome to the band Asher Holden and Landon Roberts to the band. Both were part of indie rock band Practice Makes Perfect before joining us and will take the roles of guitarist and percussion respectively. They come from a long way to be with us, Arizona.

Now that we are a band again, we have been jamming and writing music flat-out! We have met up the past 7 days to kick-start ourselves into gear. We know it is not going to be easy to win back the fans and get back into the spotlight, but we are prepared to work our asses off this time round! We will be releasing our debut single next saturday titled 'Me Vs Society'. Everyday up until that, we will have a special feature for you all! We have acoustic performances, interviews, blogs plus much more to keep you enticed. We will also be hitting the studio soon, to finish recording our debut EP. Some of the vibes coming from it may surprise you, it contains stuff we haven't tried before plus some of our trademark material. Well, thats it for now! Check out our website tomorrow as well will do our first EVER back interview for Absolute Punk.com. Excited!
Love you all, glad too be back!
