SXSW 2008 MENTION Melanie Haupt enjoys us, and says we "specialize in angry, confessional lo-fi rock". Guilty as charged, Melanie... --------------------------------------------------- MIDNIGHT MANOR PRESS / PODCASTS Jan 8, 2008, Self released, 23 min ---------------------------------------------------- "...mean lean rock that’s set to slow boil. “Bipolar Belle” waltzes darkly with the standard “My Favorite Things,” adding flinty guitar accents and forbidding vocals in the vein of ex-Geraldine Fibbers front woman Carla Bozulich." REVIEW HERE: OC WEEKLY REVIEW "MEDIA BLACKOUT", DETROIT METRO TIMES WASHINGTON'S PHILLER PODCAST picks 'SOME FRIEND YOU ARE' on their 'New Song Daily' podcast MTV.COM RECOMMENDS CHASE'S EP Yep, guess me and T-pain rolled out on the same day. Also Patti Smith's release was 2/8/08. It's a weird world. ---------------------------------------------- REVIEWS FOR "WINTER IS MY SUMMER" full length. 13 songs, 2006, Vesuvius Records, 59 min ---------------------------------------------- ...."follows closely along the lines of great bands like Portishead and the fuzz-crunchiness of Sonic Youth. The thirteen songs on her album prove that you only need one to make it happen." Valdas Karalis, LONG BEACH MAGAZINE ....a "one woman guitar storm". Chris Ziegler / OC WEEKLY " 'Front Lines' and 'Twelve Hours to Go' are some great songs with some thinly veiled opinions on certain topics in the U. S. Watch out Chase, or Dick Cheney might come shoot you in the face." Boyd Wunder BIG WHEEL MAGAZINE, CA "My Captor" is a startling lo-fi exercise in sound that recalls Sonic Youth.....The white-hot intensity of "Tethered Heart" is accomplished with the slightest of instrumentation. But Frank's vocal is strong enough to carry it. " Anna Maria Stjärnell, COLLECTED SOUNDS Stockholm, Sweden COLLECTED SOUNDS REVIEW "Kaki King turned me onto little girls with big guitars. I've started looking out for good women solo guitar players. If you like guitar without gimmicks, I expect you'll like Chase Frank's latest CD, ....Winter Is My Summer''. Chase Frank's music will catch many people by surprise, but, if they take the time to catch up with her, I believe they will be aptly rewarded for their effort." TIM'S BEFUDDLED UNIVERSE (.org), San Jose Ca ---------------------------------------------- REVIEWS FOR BEE OF MY MIND 2003, Poverty Level Records ---------------------------------------------- Short, but oh so sweet. Chase Frank's debut is perfect on so many levels. Her voice is a flexible instrument that suits her music's free spirit well. Anna Maria Stjärnell, COLLECTED SOUNDS Stockholm, Sweden full review here MERCH!! HOW TO BUY STUFF HERE?The new 7 song EP, "MIDNIGHT MANOR", Album & single tracks can be purchased here, single tracks (I-tunes--left, Snocap--above) or mail-order by PayPal (look left) or CD Baby for nat'l & intn'l mail-order.
