As a young - and we mean young: a 15-year-old drummer, along with four 17-year-olds - band, Chase The Deer admit that they are "still learning a lot", but this Worcester-based five-piece seem to be starting off in the right way.
The group of close friends from Pershore Sixth Form College formed in May last year, and were recently accepted onto the M.A.S RECORDS music development programme, which provides them with rehearsal and recording time. Despite their tender years and inexperience, Chase The Deer have already a handful of live dates under their belt, including playing at Birmingham's O2 Academy, and Worcester Kidz Live at the Worcester Arena in front of a 1400-strong crowd.
'Think' is the first offering from the band, and which will be digitally released on February 2 (they also have a second track - 'Bad Date' - set to drop in March), and is about to reach 2000 plays on Soundcloud. Combining strong indie beats with a rock persuasion, the well-structured melody and Watkins’s honeyed vocals pulling weight as she tells how "too many times I’ve waited/in the line for you/and now I’ve just got to let it go", carry just the right refrain and likeability to warrant another listen.
Chase The Deer play Marrs Bar, Worcester on February 20, and a date at O2 Academy 2, Birmingham supporting Modern Minds on March 7.
