The Chakras Set Debut Album Release Date

Irish rockers The Chakras release their debut album, ‘Build Me a Swan’ through Planet Function Records on the 26th September.

This young, Dublin born, London based five piece commenced their journey almost two years ago, with an early show supporting Ian Brown in Dublin. Brown immediately gave the wide-eyed but confident Irish chaps two enthusiastic thumbs up, and thus begins their story.

Led by brothers Rocky and Gordo Whittaker, The Chakras were hell bent on writing music that evoked some sort of reaction. Raised on a diet of Soul in Heaven era Verve self-belief, and Jesus and Mary Chain’s wanton fuzz, the band took an early hazy blueprint of how they wanted to sound and immediately removed anything that might interfere with their creating of it.

They killed off long-standing relationships, resigned from the day-jobs and cut local ties, moved to London and have here made a record that took those noisy, hissing 8-track bedroom demos and transformed the very same songs into swirling, guitar-heavy anthems.

‘Build Me a Swan’s’ 11 tracks that give further credence to a big return for the guitar band in 2011, but crucially, it is a record that stands up without any false sideshow competing for the limelight off stage.

To accompany the album, The Chakras will be embarking on a UK and Ireland tour. Dates can be expected very soon – so stick with Stereoboard for more Chakras announcements.
