Christian Anthony and Mitchel Cave were in a boy band called What About Tonight. They formed the band to audition for season 4 of The X Factor Australia, although they were eliminated in week two, coming in eleventh place.[4][5]
Mitchel Cave's older brother, Clinton Cave, had a successful YouTube channel, ClintonCaveMusic, where the brothers would release cover songs on a regular basis.[6] In 2012, the three released their first cover together[7] which would be of Bruno Mars' Locked Out of Heaven.[8] Later on, in 2013, they professionally performed together for the first time under the name K.I.D.S. (Kind Imaginations. Destructive Situations.) and released the original song "Addicted."[9] They have since deleted all content from the channel.[10]
The trio first released music under the name Chase Atlantic when Clinton Cave recruited Mitchel and Christian to assist recording a university project.[11] The band would get their name, Chase Atlantic from nowhere. According to Mitchel, the name Chase Atlantic means nothing, it was a combination of two words that the band members really liked, Chase and Atlantic, "We spend a couple of minutes trying to come up with a plausible and profound explanation for their band name. "[Chase Atlantic] literally means nothing," says Cave. "It's so hard to find band names, we just put two words we really liked together that can't be associated with anything else.".[12] Chase Atlantic officially released the EP Dalliance on 26 May 2014.[13] Their early sound was often described as Pop Rock and Pop Punk.[14]
In February 2015, the band released their second EP, Nostalgia.[15] Their song "Friends" was featured in several Tumblr edits.[16] The song was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in 2022.[17]
Later in 2015, the band caught the eye of Benji and Joel Madden, and they signed the group to their management company, MDDN, in early 2016.[18]
In January 2016, Chase Atlantic released "Obsessive." They followed up with their third EP, Paradise, in February 2016, which they promoted extensively.[19] [20]
In January 2017, Chase Atlantic released their fourth EP, Part One, to coincide with their signing with Warner Bros. Records. This was followed by Part Two in March 2017. In mid-2017, the band announced their first tour of the United States, opening for Sleeping with Sirens' Gossip: Up Close & Personal Tour.[21][10] Chase Atlantic released Part Three in September 2017.[22]
Their self-titled debut album, Chase Atlantic, was released in October 2017.[23] Later in 2017, they went on a headlining tour in the United States, where they played 16 shows across 11 states, followed by an Australian tour opening for Blackbear.[24][25]
In 2018, the band continued touring the United States by opening for singer Lights and playing US and UK festivals, including Bonnaroo, Vans Warped Tour 2018, and Reading/Leeds Festival 2018.[26]
They released standalone singles "Numb to the Feeling" and "Tidal Wave" in mid-2018.[27] Later that year, they also left Warner Brothers Records and went independent.[28]
The group spent January to April 2019 in Los Angeles, working on their second album.[29] In April, they announced the Phases Tour: North America for the summer of 2019, in support of their second album, Phases, and set the release date for 28 June 2019.[30] The album was preceded by three singles, "HER", "STUCKINMYBRAIN", and "LOVE IS (NOT) EASY", which were released on 10 May, 24 May, and 7 June 2019, respectively.
In 2020, they began work on their third studio album, Beauty in Death, which the band released on 5 March 2021.[31][32] Alongside their album rollout, they also released a collaborative single with dark pop artist PLVTINUM, called Hit My Line.[33] On 2 May 2022, the group announced the release of a deluxe edition of Beauty in Death.[34]
In 2023, after a break to work on themselves,[35] Chase Atlantic made their return to the music scene with the release of the single "MAMACITA" on September 26, 2023. The track, which blends elements of alternative R&B and pop, marked the beginning of a new era for the band. Following this, on August 23, 2024, they released another single, "DIE FOR ME," teasing their forthcoming album, GENESIS on their pre-save link. The album, anticipated to be their most diverse yet, showcases the band's continued evolution and artistic growth.[36] To promote GENESIS, Chase Atlantic has embarked on a North American tour, rumored to go global,[37][38][39] with performances scheduled at over 20 venues, including The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory and Coca-Cola Roxy.[40] "DIE FOR ME" pushed the band into Spotify's Top 500 Artists for the first time on 1 September 2024, placing them 497th worldwide.[41][42]
According to the band, their style is "conjured up dark alternative pop punctuated by rock and R&B." Throughout their four years of making music, their music style has changed from an alternative pop sound to a more alternative R&B sound.[43] Their influences include Tame Impala, the Weeknd,[44] the 1975 and the Neighbourhood.[45]
