Chasing The Fall show they’re ready for the big “City Lights” sign to Manic Kat Records
Rising pop-punk outfit Chasing The Fall have announced their signing to Manic Kat Records, marking the occasion with the release of new single, “City Lights”.
The Cheshire crew’s new track is anthemic ode to ambition and taking a leap into the unknown, projected by the band’s driving guitars, heart-on-sleeve lyricism and unwavering urgency.
Lead vocalist Andy McMullin explains: “City Lights” is about coming from a small town and chasing something bigger. We wrote it during our stay in the States and that experience had a huge impact on the song. It captures the feeling of chasing your dreams whilst feeling scared, anxious and excited to take a chance and see where it can lead.”
On their new label home, McMullin continues: “Signing with Manic Kat Records is a huge moment for us. We met the guys at a show out in the States where they saw us performing live, which made it even more special. We’re really grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Since their inception barely two years ago, Chasing The Fall have built their reputation on huge choruses, infectious hooks and a tireless DIY work ethic that has seen the band chart very much their own course.
2024’s debut EP Game Face proved an exciting introduction, showcasing the high-octane energy and soaring melodies with which the band have quickly become associated. Rather than resting on that early momentum, Chasing The Fall would kick on with a sharp, moreish run of singles.
The likes of “See You Tonight”, “Lost & Never Found” and “The Show” would help project the band onto the national stage, earning BBC Radio 1 support as well as Kerrang Radio spins, as the quartet continued to break new ground.
New single “City Lights” feels like an apt statement of intent for their new chapter on Manic Kat Records. Excited but never overawed by their own promising future, Chasing The Fall deliver a rousing anthem that harks to the 00s alternative rock stalwarts, as well as their pop-punk contemporaries.
