Taking Chase

Punk-ska(core)-melodic punk band from Edinburgh/North Berwick Scotland. Taking Chase are collective where the word genre is not a restricted buzz word that 5 five gentlemen hide behind - playing music that makes you feel happy and accomplished is what you should take delight from. We are all part of a "scene" that is split into too many sub-genres which is an uncomfortable and un-easy way to live, everyone should rejoice in the fact that it is all music - no matter what style you play!
