Chasing Victory is an American post-hardcore band from Camilla, Georgia.
Band-history
[edit | edit source]The band was formed in 2001 by vocalist Adam Harrell, guitarist Jason Lowery, drummer Jeremy Lowery, bassist Taylor Sullivan, and guitarist Michael Lamb while they were in high school.[1] They started as a cover band called Bailey Drive, where they started writing songs for their debut EP A Not So Tragic Cover Up.[2] After the release of this EP, they signed with Mono vs. Stereo and released their first full-length album, I Call This Abandonment, in 2005, followed by their second album, Fiends, in 2007.[3]
Between March and May 2007, the band went on a US tour with See You Next Tuesday, August Burns Red, and From a Second Story Window.[4] On September 24, 2007 the band announced they had broken up through their Myspace blog.[5] In 2008, they played a few shows during the summer.[6] In 2010, Harrell and the Lowerys announced the formation of a new band called Astoria and released a six-song EP called [E.P.(ic) - EP].[7]
In January 2014, vocalist Adam Harrell announced that he and his wife were planning on adopting a child and that Chasing Victory would be reuniting for one show in the near future to help raise money for the adoption. The show was a success, and the Harrells adopted their new daughter shortly after.[citation needed]
In 2016, the band announced their reformation with the release of a new song entitled "She Haunts Me" on Halloween, and the band played several shows throughout the Southeast US in the summer of 2017.[1]
The band released a new independent EP entitled Friends, Volume 1 in early 2018.[8]
