about

Following on from their previous release Synergy, their new single Chancer is a headbanging, tear-jerking, insightful powerhouse. The song was produced by the band who also created the music video.

The song shines a light on the sometimes difficult reality facing individuals growing up in low income areas, a lack of education and few job prospects, ultimately leading to a life of having to find ways to make ends meet.

The track gives an insight into a day in the life of the Chancer, a Frank Gallagher meets Del Boy character who’ll sell you a new TV just as soon as he’s lifted it from your living room. Ducking, diving and scheming his way through life, Chancer does whatever he can to make sure he’s got what he needs. The second half of the track finds the Chancer alone, reflecting, thinking about the mistakes made and agonising over what could have been.
