TAKING CHASE influences could be listed for pages and pages, here however is a small list of bands we collectively think are really good - The Police, Hot Water Music, RX Bandits, At the Drive-In, Reuben, Cursive, Weezer, Fugazi, Douglas, Muse, Mogwai, Biffy Clyro, The Get up Kids, Jawbreaker, N-Trance, The Eagles!
Taking Chase are collective where the word genre is not a restricted buzz word that 5 five gentlemen hide behind - playing music that makes you feel happy and accomplished is what you should take delight from.
We are all part of a "scene" that is split into too many sub-genres which is an uncomfortable and un-easy way to live, everyone should rejoice in the fact that it is all music - no matter what style you play!
Since the formation of Taking Chase in 2006, we have achieved more than we ever thought we would - being featured on MTV Get Seen Get Heard, our music played on Radio One, Radio Scotland and XFM Scotland, touring the UK three times and making so many new friends along the way, releasing our debut EP on Wasted State Records (AVAILABLE NOW), being a featured band in Big Cheese Magazine and this isn't even the beginning - we will continue to push the band as far as we possibley can - playing music is the best thing in the world.
Taking Chase have toured the UK with Catch-it Kebabs, Fights & Fires and Overthrow, and played all over the UK with awesome bands such as Mad Caddies, Strung Out, Bomb The Music Industry, Howards Alias, CapDown, Mike Park, Sundowner, Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music), Glass & Ashes, Mike TV, Random Hand, Sonic Boom Six, The Mercury League, Lightyear, Failsafe, Bombskare, Weapons of Brass Destruction, The JB Conspiracy, The Hijacks, The King Blues, Buzzkill, Smoke Like a Fish, Once Over, The Misnomer, My Own Religion, Ben Cozine, Chief etc.....etc......

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
No problem at all man it was a pleasure! Im sure we will share many more fantastic nights in the future (that sounds a bit weird...) but you know what i mean!
