From Seattle, comes Branden Daniel & The Chics
with their debut album, which at times sounds like the second-coming of the Kings of Leon. The new release
entitled “Keep Em Flying” was released back in May and was produced by Bruce
Duff and Grammy-Award winning producer Tom Biller (Silversun Pickups). The trio
of Branden Daniel (singer/guitarist), Aaron Schroder (guitar) and Matt Winter
(drums) perform with that raw, garage-rock energy that would make bands like
Iggy & The Stooges and The Velvet Underground proud.
The album starts off with the California-sounding, surf-punk
of “All Things Chic” as Daniel’s vocals draw similarities to Iggy Pop. The trio
experiment a little with their sound on the five-minute “Missionary” as their
sound travels to the underground New York club scene of the seventies. They
finally find their groove on “Hey, Howie” and “Only The Heavy” with their raw,
garage-rock sound. The album’s first single is the fun, punk-romp “Mor Yay,” as
you find yourself singing along to the chorus. They return to the surf-punk of “Burns,”
before finishing with the slow-building “Not Like Anything.”
Branden Daniel & the Chics currently have no live dates
scheduled, but stay tuned to bdandthechics.tumblr.com for more information.
