Review

KHAN – BROADSWORDS
Released 16th July 2012 (Gravy Records)

Words: John Newspeaker for Noise Addiction

Khan will bring out the tribal punk energy in even the mildest of reviewers, and as powerful as new single Broadswords is, it slightly lacks the pull for me to replay it over and over again. A shot in the arm it may be but music not only has to challenge (which is exactly the angle Khan are coming from) but it has to be melodic or hooky enough for us to hit replay. So for me this doesn’t quite hit the spot but what it does do is make me stand up and pay attention, so for that I salute them.

I can hear/feel/smell the essence of the Cramps, The Fall, Theatre of hate and Public Image Ltd in this track but all at different junctures, go and make your own comparisons and if you like it buy it, if you don’t you’re a pussy. Meow!

Band Of The Month

CHASING CADENCE
March 2013

What made you name your band Chasing Cadence?

We really liked the idea of Chasing. But we wanted to be Chasing something. Cadence is Latin for rhythm and it’s also the term used for the end of a musical phrase, so it fits well in that sense. It’s obviously also a girls name. Being the romantics that we are, it vaguely symbolises the chasing of something that you want in life, whether that be a person or anything else. We also wanted our name to be slightly different!

Which bands do you draw inspiration from musically?

Individually our influences range from metalcore to pop and all in between, including Rockabilly! Bands that inspire us at the moment are Mallory Knox, Deaf Havana, Hildamay, Don Broco, Young Guns, Devil Sold His Soul and Lower Than Atlantis

What can people expect from your live show?

It’s all about the energy! Our live shows are where people can see our raw passion spill out in all its glory. We put absolutely everything into them, all that we’ve got. And as cliché as that sounds, it’s true. We love getting the crowd involved and we get amongst as much as we can. It’s about having a good time and that’s exactly what we aim for.

What song would you recommend from your Facebook?

Our single/video ‘Accidents Will Happen’ is on our Facebook page at the moment.

Here’s the latest from Chasing Cadence..

Our brand new single ‘Young’ is being released on Sunday 10 March, along with a video to accompany it. It was recorded by Dan Lancaster (Mallory Knox, Lower Than Atlantis, Don Broco) and the video was shot by Full Circle Media. We are in the process of writing our EP which is set for release in the Summer. This will include 1 or 2 tracks with some surprise guest vocals on there which we’re really excited about.

Upcoming shows:

Saturday 9 March – Blast Fest 2013 at The Intake in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire (with Lecarla, You Cried Wolf and many others)
Thursday 28 March – The Square, Harlow (Headline)
Friday 29 March – The Junction, Cambridge
