“Like a less pretentious White Stripes, Slow Chase keep their sound towards the minimal end of the spectrum. On Algernon, there are big hooks and melodies structured around a simple but powerful back-beat. A rollicking number from the band’s upcoming EP release, Algernon struts and swaggers” SINGLE OF THE WEEK, RAVE MAGAZINE
“A local band who have focused their attention on the song writing over the style. You’ll Never See Me is a catchy tune with a swinging duet of guitar and drums and a simple chorus that really barks. There are hints of Julian Casablancas in Adam Gresty’s singing, too, which is always welcome.” BEAT MAGAZINE
“If you like your riffs brash and your rock n roll served up straight then there is no doubt Melbourne’s Slow Chase should be on your ‘Get To Know’ list for 2011. They may not have a floor-tom, synth or banjo but Slow Chase do have an ear for catchy, dance-floor rock.” FASTERLOUDER
“A driving hard rock sound that may remind the listener of Kasabian, or Eagles of Death Metal” THE AU REVIEW
