Rooted in the Post- Punk tradition, Leeds band Chest Pains hit the road with a lessis-more aesthetic; it’ s guitars you can dance to and simple, punchy production techniques which capture the truest sounds. But will this be enough to stand out from the rest? Third Outing finds out...
There’ s a real buzz right now. Chest Pains are a Rock band, plain and simple. And if you go into this record expecting nothing more than that, then of course you’ ll be pretty pleased. Blood Pumping bursts and buzzes out loud, with bright riffs and squalls of feedback. It’ s all knitted together by Sam Robinson’ s bleary, strained voice.
A perfect match for the perfect Post- Punk sound. This first single from the EP Bath Bandits exposes the basic rock elements of Chest Pains; sharp and fast guitar riffs, punchy momentum and driving tempos. It’ s an EP made up of five of their favourite songs to perform live, and so naturally the EP captures the energetic intensity Chest Pains have to offer. But then Chest Pains are more than just a Rock band. They have more to offer. And so if you go into this record expecting more than a rock band, you’ re going to be quietly surprised by what they have to offer... The melodies for Chest Pains’ slower and more winsome songs hit us much harder.
