For over a decade, Connecticut-based alternative rock pop band Chaser Eight have been evolving.
During this evolution they’ve twice been voted New England’s Best Alt-Rock band in The Deli magazine’s year-end poll and were nominated in 2024 for the New England Music Awards for Rock Act of the Year. In late 2024 they were crowned the winners of Mohegan Sun’s prestigious Locals Live and will headline the Wolf Den in 2025.
They have opened for the likes of Panic! at the Disco, Buckcherry, Trapt, Atlas Genius, Local H, Faster Pussycat, The Dollyrots, and Badfish.
What they’re most proud of, however, is the impressive catalog of music they’ve created.
Chaser Eight – which consists of founding member *AUDRA* (vocals/guitar) and is rounded out by Brennan DiLernia (bass), and Chris Siena (drums), and Mike Cocco (guitar) – has released 5 EPs, 8 standalone singles, and three full-length albums.
On May 16, 2025, the band released “A Little Bit Longer”; their third single of 2025 with creative partner/producer The LX. The song was recorded and mixed at Black Barrel Records in Shelton by James Howard and mastered by Oli Morgan at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. They also released “Alice'“ and “Heaven On Earth” earlier this year. “Alice” was engineered/mixed at Black Barrel Records and mastered at Abbey Road. “Heaven On Earth” was engineered at Silk City Music Factory and Sage Sound Studios, mixed by John Barrett at Abbey Road, and mastered by Oli Morgan at Abbey Road.
When it comes to their extended run, and current 13 year anniversary as a band, they are grateful to have the stamina to produce 13 years of new music and even more grateful to the fans that continue to follow them on this journey.

Press Quotes
“A regional ‘secret’ of Connecticut, Chaser Eight has twice been voted New England’s Best Alt-Rock band in The Deli magazine’s year-end poll, and opened for the likes of Panic! at the Disco, The Dollyrots, and Badfish to name a few. Fans of Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, and Dead Rituals find themselves drawn to Chaser Eight for their dark edgey lyricism and unique soundscape.” - Music Mecca
“Tonight, Chaser Eight was on point. Every song they performed traveled well and totally engaged the audience. Their 9 song set was filled with songs from their 2023 EP, Wide Awake and their 2019 full length, Tell Me LIes. The first song out was “Playing With Fire” which showcases the band’s rocking side. The guitars were dramatically intense with an extended solo and the backbeat was punchy. Audra’s vocals soared with a vibrant flourish. It was an explosive start.” - My Amp Music
The 40-minute set drew heavily from the band’s 2019 album Tell Me Lies and its May 2023 EP, Wide Awake. And while the band’s shapeshifted a bit over its 10-year existence, the current lineup might be the strongest one yet: Wolfer and Audra’s vocal harmonies are more confident than they’ve ever been — a sirenesque force of nature that’s just spellbinding to experience live, especially during anthemic songs like ’Leave My Shadow’ and ’The Bell Jar.’” - New Haven Independent
“Chaser Eight is one of the biggest bands in CT right now because they're positioned to opened for the big touring acts that come through. This is not an accident. Chaser Eight has a sound that you can relate with some other artists, but overall it comes together to be a sound all their own. One day, this band will be much bigger than they already are and I'll be happy knowing they came from CT.” - Raised by Cassettes
