The Chase Theory
Our Enemies Are Invisible (Onedaysavior)
by Tim Den
Sometimes predictability is pretty fucking kick ass. You don’t watch a Bruce Lee film for Shakespearian acting, you watch it for the beat-downs. Just as you don’t expect post-rock and experimentalism from The Chase Theory. You play ’em loud for the sheer fun of (deep breath) emo-punk. There, I said it: The Chase Theory are emo-punk. But unlike the horrid description the band unfortunately qualifies for, The Chase Theory are actually both emotional and punk. They aren’t empty-frontin’ it like fellow Floridians New Found Glory, they’re truly pissed and truly sad. Not just cuz guitarist/vocalist Matt Burke pens level-headed lyrics, but because the band writes music that’s inherently both emotions.
