History
Before forming Chase Atlantic, in 2012, Christian Anthony and Mitchel Cave were in a band called What About Tonight with three other friends.They saw each other's YouTube accounts and figured they would form a band in hopes to become as big as One Direction, who were put together on the X-Factor UK. The band auditioned for the X-Factor Australia season four. What About Tonight made it through auditions and onto the show, but was eliminated in week two, coming in 11th place.

Later, in 2014, Chase Atlantic officially formed as the trio they are today.

Music Style
Chase Atlantic have a unique style of music that is "conjured up dark alternative pop punctuated by rock and R&B", according to the band members themselves. They are a combination of R&B, rock, pop and alternative; They are influenced by many artists from all these genres as well, such as Tame Impala and The Weeknd. All three members have stated that it is hard to describe their sound because it is unique. Mitchel Cave said "it is a fuse of a lot of genres; we have taken the best things that we like in every single genre and kind of fused it into a new genre". They all agree that the genre or style of music is not what is important but rather they feel what is right when producing; they make their own sounds, music and lyrics based on what the three of them feel is best.
