Review: 'Chambers'
'Disappear'   

-  Label: 'Warren Records'
-  Genre: 'Punk/New Wave' -  Release Date: '5th August 2016'-  Catalogue No: 'WR0026'

Our Rating:
Female duo Chambers have been building quite a reputation since their inception in the summer of 2014, and while drawing on aspects of grunge and nu-metal and describing themselves as a doom band, they ultimately belong to the city’s post-punk / goth tradition ‘Disappear’ locks into an insistent groove, and at the same time calls to mind the adrenaline blast of The March Violets’ early single releases. Eaeris Houlihan’s monotone vocal, edged with a metallic reverb, is perfectly detached, with hints of Brian Molko, and in combination with a surging guitar riff, it all adds up to a tense affair that’s over in less than three minutes – in other words, it’s pretty much a perfect single cut.

It’s matched by the straining force of (what in the old days would have been) flipside ‘Love Song’, is all about the choppy riff, combining the sleaze and elasticity of Placebo with the full-on crunch of Royal Blood.
