I first came across The chemists at the start of
September when they released their double a-side
single 'Something For The Weekend' and 'Tazmanian
Devil', both songs proved to be good listens and
the single release rated quite highly here on Alternative
Vision, well the band are now back with a brand
new single in the form of 'Radio Booth' which is
being released on the 1st December through Distiller
Records.
'Radio Booth' is one hard hitting single release,
it has a slight Queens Of The Stone Age feel about
it, especially during the first 30 seconds of
the song you can clearly hear the Queens Of The
Stone Age comparison. It’s like The Chemists
have turned their music's volume up to 11 here
and have totally gone for it rocking out in the
heaviest way that they possibly can, the guitar
riffs are really heavy but really catchy at the
same time and frontman Johnny Benn's vocals are
loud, clear and as well executed as ever.
The main b-side to the single is a remix of 'Radio
Booth' by Haunts, who have previously remixed
songs by Funeral For A Friend, Late Of The Pier
and The Enemy and to be fair to these guys they
have done a really good job here, everything is
still rocking and heavy but with the addition
of dance beats and synths it’s brought that
cross over effect into the bands music which could
quite help them fill dance floors across the country
if people do dare to spin this tune.
The Chemists may be a new-ish band on the horizon
but they are not new when it comes to the live
circuit, they have already played with The Bluetones,
The Crimea and The Delays on tour this year and
they are now on the road with Feeder which promises
to be a big tour as both bands have a great appeal.
The release of 'Radio Booth' should be enough
to keep your appeal in The Chemists until their
debut album is released early in 2009.
4/5
