Southern California punk rockers Chaser have released their new single ‘The Breaks, the lead single off their upcoming album Small Victories out in June. The album was produced by Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Pennywise, Alkaline Trio) and is the band’s first new release in three years.
The band comments on their new single, “At some point in our lives, we have all felt vulnerable, battled insecurities, and have been in that dark place inside our heads; fearing what tomorrow might bring. ‘The Breaks’ is based on the old idiom, “That’s the breaks, kid”, meaning that’s just how it goes, that’s your fate, and to just accept and play the hand you’ve been dealt. This is a song for anyone who’s ever felt that they couldn’t let their guard down in fear that they’ll end up getting hurt. Or anyone who has found it difficult to look at pictures from a simpler time when life was easier and carefree. But that’s life. We need to ride the highs and lows, play the long game, and realize we’re all one mistake away from drastically changing the outcome of our lives. We can’t go back to the way life was before, but we can choose how to live it now and make the final call. That’s the breaks.”
