Chase Petra shares their new single and video ‘Centrifugal Force’ via Wax Bodega and announces U.S. tour dates with Small Crush + Sorry Mom.

“This song deals with what it means to be an adult who’s playing music and also has bills to pay,” Allen says. “I’ve wanted to do this my whole life, and I’ve never second-guessed that – but now my frontal lobe is fully developed, and I’m starting to wonder if this is really going to make me happy or if it’s going to tear me apart.”

CHASE PETRA’s music has always been about growth: growing up, growing out, growing tired of what others expect of you. The Long Beach, CA trio have used that metamorphic mindset – along a stirring blend of rock, emo and pop on their debut album, 2019’s Liminal – to establish themselves as one of the underground’s most exciting new acts.

It’s their sense of figuring things out in real time that makes vocalist/guitarist Hunter Allen, drummer Evan Schaid and bassist Brooke Dickson so relatable, as the band’s “quarter-life-crisis pop” elevates deep introspection to navigate the messiness that comes with modern life. The band’s new single, ‘Centrifugal Force’, continues this quest atop theatrical, bass-heavy grooves, grappling with what it means to grow up and be grown up, to see your once-bright dreams dulled by the responsibilities of adulthood.
