In late 2007, the dynamic sound of Chase the Light was born. Coming out of Kingston Ontario, four individuals; Patrick Donovan, Alex Arthurs, Chris Maurice, and Nick Gallinger were inspired to set & reach their goals. In only a few short weeks the band began writing/recording. The first release, ‘My Ceiling’ was almost instantly regarded as being fresh and original, with the influences from varying genres of music. Not only is the instrumental work catchy, the writing is intriguing throughout it’s complex metaphors and heart-filled lyrics. Within two months, Chase the Light was able to compete with long living bands around the Kingston area before even playing a show. With just one track they were able to line up a festival and several shows.
In early January 2008, the band was off to Burlington, Ontario for their first photo shoot with Brooks Reynolds, a unique photographer that’s worked with Canadian artist such as Silverstein, Moneen, The Reason & Ten Second Epic. The band plans to do an Ontario/Quebec tour to follow up the ‘World Below In Stereo’ EP release late April. With a mind state so focused, they plan to sign to a label when the time is right, and continue to reach out to people of all ages.
