QUESTIONS FOR CHASING MONDAYS

BETTER NOW THAN LATER

ELEVATED MOOD POP

Biography

Chasing Mondays are four musicians from Konstanz. What began around 10 years ago as a singer-songwriter project has grown into a pop-rock band. The sophisticated guitar riffs, the defined bass lines, rhythms ranging from gentle to intense, and distinctive vocals come together to create ‘elevated mood pop’, as they have dubbed their versatile style.

 

The songs, all written and performed by the band themselves, tell of friendship and love, of insecurity and hope, of better and worse times. Inspired by their own experiences, they allow listeners to empathise and see themselves reflected in the music. This authenticity and the joy of playing spark a connection with the audience, creating an emotionally unifying atmosphere.

 

Following the release of their debut album “Light Years” in 2019, the more rock-oriented follow-up “Yesterdays are gone” arrived in 2024, revealing the direction the band is heading in. New songs are in the pipeline.
