Chadwick Station

Chadwick Station are a lot like you. Their taste in music is broad. It all depends on the mood. They're a British band that's relocated to Nashville. That's definitely had an influence on their sound. Brit pop, R&B, rock, a little country. 

They released their debut EP, Waiting for a Sunny Day, to rave reviews. Fortitude Magazine gave it 5 out of 5 stars and gushed, "Quite possibly one of the greatest retro-inspired things you’ll ever hear." Drew Blackwell at AllWhatsRock.com said, "I must admit Waiting for a Sunny Day sucked me in like a powerful drug and refused to let go long after the music was over." 

Charles Martel at Music Emissions said, “Now, I am sticking my neck out here, but I really do detect elements of the Beatles in here - just occasionally the McCartney style of songwriting, reminiscent of songs such as "Michelle" and "Yesterday" peek through. Phew! How are this band going to live up to a start like that?” Good question, Charles.

So, here's what the band decided to do. They seriously thought about an album. You know, a compilation of songs that artists try to string together into some cohesive package with a cool cover and interesting liner notes. But who really listens to albums anymore? Really.

Chadwick Station are breaking the mold. Actually, they're going back to what artists used to do in the '50s and early '60s. Singles. Songs. Let each piece of music speak for itself.

Like their first single, Cryin' Ain't Gonna Win Her Back. Pure retro R&B. Like The Sound of Philadelphia, or Stax out of Memphis back in the day. The folks in the Carolinas call it beach music, and it raced up the beach music charts in Carolina. Contagious bass. Rhythmic drums. Dirty horns. Makes you want to dance. It's like you jumped in a hot tub time machine.

Now comes their second single, There's a Girl. One female in the crowd test described it thusly: "The lyrics, vocals, and beat are like the perfect blend of The Beatles and The Beach Boys with a dash of The Smiths." We couldn't agree more. A surfer guitar, killer harmonies, toe-tapping beat. It's a perfect follow-up to their soulful first single.

It's all about capturing a moment in time. Each of us has myriad moods. We express them at different times. And so it shall be for Chadwick Station from here on out. Every month or so it'll be one great single after another and another and…
