So Cal punk heroes CHASER will release their long-awaited new album Small Victories on June 28, 2024 via SBAM Records (EU), Thousand Islands Records (North America), and Pee Records (Australia). The 13-track album was produced by Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Pennywise, Alkaline Trio) and is the band's first new release in nearly 3 years.

The band says, "We are proud to announce our upcoming album, Small Victories, available June 28 on SBAM Records, Thousand Islands Records, and Pee Records. Produced by Cameron Webb and featuring 13 songs! We‘re extremely proud of this album and can’t wait for you to hear it!

"The album title, Small Victories, holds a special meaning for us that we felt compelled to share with our listeners. In life, we are continuously presented with challenges, each to our own degree. Managing our personal struggles, we tend to beat ourselves up when the outcome is not as perfect as we envisioned. Instead, let’s learn to appreciate and revel in the small wins that occur on a daily basis. They each carry weight and over time, have the potential to add up to greatness!

"The cover art was drawn by Sebas Theriault of Sterio Design. It depicts rough seas representing the everchanging highs and lows, and ebbs and flows of life. We’re all navigating these waters trying to weather the storm and reach stable ground. Through it all, just remember, we steer our own ship and we control our destiny. We’re not flawless, we’re only mortal, but we’re all in this together."

Chaser will celebrate the three year anniversary of their acclaimed 2021 album Dreamers at Costa Mesa, CA's Tiki Bar on April 19. The band will perform the beloved LP from front to back, in its entirety. Tickets available HERE.
