The EP showcases the band's intensity-driven, melodic rock style, and was recorded with Rory Willis, known for his work with Bowling Green bands Sleeper Agent and Buffalo Rodeo.? They can get into a room and make music like no one I've ever seen, says Willis. They came into the studio knowing the ebb and flow of these songs before I ever touched them.? Born from the ashes of vocalist Micah Rigdon and guitarist Jason Sadler's former band, Karmadons, heavy chase was formed with the understanding that all of the members would have equal creative input. Rounding out the lineup is Jared McKinney on guitar, and brothers Tom and Sean Elwood on bass and drums respectively. ? As Karmadons progressed and I got more involved in the songwriting, it started to take a big turn, Sadler says. So when we started this band, we were really just trying to do something clean and fresh.? The result is a sound that is as hard to define as it is infectious to the ear. Sadler and McKinney's frantic, dueling guitar work perfectly compliments the raw, rock energy of Rigdon's vocals. The Elwood brothers, for their part, form a tight rhythmic bond achieved from nearly a decade of making music together. ? Songs like X's and O's and Stealing All The Color showcase the band's expansive sound, and the symbiotic relationships between the music and Rigdon's lyrics.? I don't just walk around in the shower and have a melody pop in my head, Rigdon says. I'll hear a drumbeat or a bassline, and immediately something starts to build in my head.? The band has developed a devoted local fanbase, regularly playing capacity shows in town, but for heavy chase, Bowling Green is just the beginning.? We've been a band for less than a year and we're just now finding out what we're capable of creating, Tom Elwood says. We're excited to break down the walls and show the world what's going on in this little town. 'Musically, the band is faultless, distinguished by the quarreling guitars of Jason Sadler and Jared McKinney and featuring the outstanding vocal skills of Michael James Rigdon, who also writes lyrics. Lexington expatriates Sean and Tom Elwood, on drums and bass respectively, keep things in the groove. The playing is exceptional throughout.' Jeff Sweeney - SKYE Mag 'Lead singer, Micah Rigdon's voice is distinctly addictive. The title track off the EP, Spinning in Circles, showcases his sultry voice as he sings with intense emotion and impressive range. Followed by other tracks on the EP such as X's and O's and Stealing All The Color, it is impossible to not get caught up by the unmistakable energy of their music. It is easy to see (and hear) why the band fought hard to gain the Elwood brothers in their lineup. Sean and Tom are able to skillfully and intuitively play off each other as well as fellow band members to create a sound that cannot be mimicked or replicated by anyone else.' Sarah Sommer - Social Focused 'What Rigdon does best is compliment the brilliant guitar work of Jared McKinney and Jason Sadler, who manage to fill every intro and post-chorus with melodies both intricate and catchy.''...but the effort put behind them from Rigdon (as well as bitchin-good production) makes it radio-ready at an impressively early stage for this band.' Ryan J. Rader - Young Mary's Record 'Micah Rigdon's vocals are strong and heart-filled, plus I love all the hidden nuances in his voice. He blends seamlessly with Jason Sadler and Jared McKinney's skillful guitars. These guys play guitar off each other so well and interweave with timing and precision that will blow you away. And Tom Elwood on bass and his brother Sean Elwood on drums have seemingly spent their lives forming such a bond. Together they generate the progressive grooves and rhythms that drive Heavy Chase's music.' Lauren Steen - Everything Music Magazine.
