What About Chad
www.purevolume.com/whataboutchad
What About Chad are a four-piece outfit hailing from Surrey, South East UK, and have
been in the local music scene for around 3 years. The commitment and energy shown
in putting the music across live has resulted in a bond with a rising fan base, especially
online at the bands website, and music sites 'Myspace' and 'Purevolume’.
The quartet seems to have shaped a new blend of "so called" pop punk, but with a
unique difference. At points What About Chad's music contains elements of metallic like
riffage and melodic charge but is not specifically emotional rock. Taking each band
members influences and fusing these ideas together they have found a rich distinctive
sound deriving from multi-layered power-pop rock, somewhat reminiscent of early 80's
bands. This, fused with the modern styles of commercially successful bands and
added to What About Chad's unique personality and character lends itself to be a sound
as unique and diverse as any up and coming band can create.
It is apparent upon seeing and meeting the band what drives this character. The
qualities and ideas of the performers in the band could be perceived as anything but
recognisable in today's view, all four have studied and worked hard through university
times, always dreaming of making a mark on the world. It is recognised by all the
members of the band that only hard work and perseverance will make the dream a reality.
