Chaser, the Californian skatepunks who have released a couple of storming new singles recently, have confirmed a release date for their next album.
Dreamers, the SoCal band’s fifth full-length, will be released on Sound Speed Records, Thousand Islands Records, SBAM Records, and Pee Records on April 9.
Vinyl, CD and merch pre-orders are live now at chaserpunkrock.com.
Formed in 2000, Chaser play fast, catchy, melodic skatepunk. They recently released two singles; 2020 and A New Direction, which have whetted fans’ appetites for the new album.
Mike LeDonne (vocals), Jesse Stopnitzky (bass/vocals), Bill Hockmuth (guitar) and Davey Guy (drums) are clearly influenced by the ’90s Fat Wreck and Epitaph-era punk bands.
Stopnitzky says of the new album: “Dreamers is a 13-song burst of anthemic and melodic punk energy with self-reflecting and hopeful lyrics. It is a reminder to keep chasing your dreams and keep your head up. It’s the most personal album we have written, touching on the highs and lows of life, but as always, with a positive Chaser twist.”
Dreamers is Chaser’s first album since 2018’s Sound The Sirens. Last year saw them release the digital Look Alive EP in September, with all profits donated to non-profit organisations, and a cover of Bad Religion’s Skyscraper, in November.
