The Band's Journey

Early Days: Before Chase Atlantic

Before Chase Atlantic, Christian Anthony and Mitchel Cave were part of a boy band called What About Tonight. They tried out for The X Factor Australia but left the show early.

Mitchel's older brother, Clinton Cave, had a popular YouTube channel called ClintonCaveMusic. The brothers often shared cover songs there. In 2012, all three of them sang a cover of Bruno Mars' song "Locked Out of Heaven" together. While in high school, they spent a lot of time creating music. Mitchel Cave especially enjoyed making EDM. In 2013, they performed live for the first time as a group called K.I.D.S. (Kind Imaginations. Destructive Situations.) and released their own song, "Addicted." All content from that channel has since been removed.

Starting as Chase Atlantic: Dalliance and Nostalgia

The three friends first started making music as Chase Atlantic when Clinton Cave asked Mitchel and Christian to help with a school project. The band's name, "Chase Atlantic," doesn't have a hidden meaning. Mitchel explained that they simply combined two words they liked: Chase and Atlantic.

Their first collection of songs, called an EP, was Dalliance, released on May 26, 2014. At first, their music sounded like pop rock and Pop punk. In February 2015, they released their second EP, Nostalgia. A song from this EP, "Friends," became very popular online. In 2022, "Friends" earned a Silver award from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for its sales. Later in 2015, famous musicians Benji and Joel Madden noticed the band. They signed Chase Atlantic to their management company, MDDN, in early 2016.

More EPs and Their First Album (2016–2018)

In January 2016, Chase Atlantic released a song called "Obsessive." They then released their third EP, Paradise, in February 2016 and promoted it widely.

In January 2017, the band released their fourth EP, Part One. This happened around the same time they signed with Warner Bros. Records. They followed this with Part Two in March 2017 and Part Three in September 2017. In mid-2017, Chase Atlantic announced their first tour in the United States.

Their first full album, also called Chase Atlantic, came out in October 2017. After that, they had their own tour across the United States, performing 16 shows. They also toured Australia, opening for the artist Blackbear. On March 13, 2025, their song "Swim" reached an amazing milestone: 1 billion streams on Spotify.

In 2018, the band kept touring the United States. They opened for singer Lights and played at big festivals like Bonnaroo, Vans Warped Tour, and Reading/Leeds Festival. They also released two new songs, "Numb to the Feeling" and "Tidal Wave," in 2018. Later that year, they decided to leave Warner Brothers Records and become an independent band.

New Albums: Phases and Beauty in Death (2019–2022)

From January to April 2019, the band was in Los Angeles creating their second album. In April, they announced the "Phases Tour: North America" for summer 2019. This tour supported their new album, Phases, which was released on June 28, 2019. Before the album, they released three songs: "Her," "StuckInMyBrain," and "Love Is (Not) Easy."

In 2020, they started working on their third album, Beauty in Death, which came out on March 5, 2021. They also released a song called "Hit My Line" with another artist, Plvtinum. In 2021, Chase Atlantic went on their 'Beauty in Death' tour across North America. On May 2, 2022, they announced a special deluxe edition of the Beauty in Death album.

Returning to Music: Lost in Heaven (2023–Present)

After taking some time off in 2023, Chase Atlantic returned with a new song called "Mamacita" on September 26. This song, which mixes alternative R&B and pop, started an exciting new chapter for the band.

Their latest album, Lost in Heaven, was released on November 1, 2024. Before the album came out, they shared three new songs: "Die for Me" on August 23, 2024, "Doubt It" on September 20, 2024, and "Ricochet" on October 11, 2024. "Mamacita" was also included on this album.

While making Lost in Heaven, the band faced a big challenge. lead vocalist Mitchel Cave accidentally left his laptop in the rain, and a lot of their music was lost! Mitchel explained that they had to create almost a whole new album because of this. He joked that he likes playing with fire, as making their albums is never easy. Despite this, the band worked hard, remade the lost songs, and released the album to great reviews.

The Lost in Heaven Tour began on October 16, 2024. The band has performed at many places around the world. These include Toyota Music Factory in North America, Riverstage Brisbane in Australia, The O2 Arena in the United Kingdom, and Lanxess Arena in Europe.

In a podcast interview on February 13, 2025, Chase Atlantic announced they are working on a special deluxe edition of Lost in Heaven. Christian Anthony said this new release will add to the story of their songs "Aura" and "Void." It will include extra songs that didn't make it onto the original album.

On August 14 and September 12, 2025, the band released two new songs, "Facedown" and "Remind Me." These songs are part of the deluxe edition of Lost in Heaven, which is called Lost in Heaven (High as Hell) and is scheduled for release on October 3, 2025.

Chase Atlantic's Music Style

In 2018, Chase Atlantic described their music as "dark alternative pop" with hints of rock and R&B. Over the years, their sound has grown to include alternative pop and alternative R&B. They get ideas from artists like Tame Impala, the Weeknd, the 1975, and The Neighbourhood. With their 2024 album, Lost in Heaven, the band started exploring sounds closer to hip-hop, pop, and electronic music.
