Southern California melodic punk band Chaser return with ‘Gonna Be Alright,’ a new 2-song 7”. Featuring a reimagined version of Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds’ alongside a newly reworked version of the fan-favorite ‘My Promise,’ the release captures the uplifting spirit and emotional sincerity that have become central to the band’s identity.
While the band is still working toward its next full-length album, ‘Gonna Be Alright’ serves as a special release created to bridge the gap before an extensive summer touring run across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
“We are so excited to share this release,” the band says. “While we’re not quite ready for a new full-length yet, we wanted to put something really cool out before our tours this summer. These songs came out amazing and we know people are going to sing along with them at the shows.”
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Paul Miner at Buzzbomb Studios in Orange, California, ‘Gonna Be Alright’ also features standout visual contributions from artists Mark De Salvo and Samuel Lucas. Each side of the vinyl showcases a distinct artistic style—contrasting tones that reflect the emotional depth of ‘My Promise’ and the bright, uplifting spirit of ‘Three Little Birds’, while remaining unified through themes of hope and light.
“We wanted the artwork to feel completely different from each other stylistically, while still capturing the same emotional thread,” says the band.
For ‘My Promise’ Mark De Salvo created a hand-painted canvas piece using warm colors against a darker palette to reflect the song’s heartfelt emotional weight. Meanwhile, Samuel Lucas brought bright, vibrant tropical imagery to ‘Three Little Birds’, capturing the uplifting spirit of the song while subtly paying homage to the original music video by depicting the wolf and pig as allies rather than enemies.
Homegrown in the heart of Southern California, Chaser — comprised of Mike LeDonne (vocals), Jesse Stopnitzky (bass/vocals), Bill Hockmuth (guitar), and Davey Guy (drums) — have spent years building a reputation as one of melodic punk’s most positive and emotionally resonant live acts. Since 2018, the band has toured extensively throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States, appearing at major festivals including Brakrock Eco Fest, Music 4 Cancer, Envol Macadam, Jera On Air, Punk Rock Holiday, and Punk In The Park, while completing multiple headline tours overseas.
Known for their uplifting and unifying performances, Chaser continue to connect with audiences across punk, hardcore, metal, and rock through songs rooted in resilience, sincerity, and community spirit. With ‘Gonna Be Alright’, the band delivers exactly what its title promises: a timely reminder of hope, connection, and finding light through music together.
