Interview by Angela Croudace
In a recent interview, Chas Levi, the drummer of Justice For The Damned, shared his excitement about returning to the stage after a challenging period, as well as the band's highly anticipated new music and upcoming Australian tour. The band's journey has been anything but easy, but with their latest single, The Current, they have come out stronger and more determined than ever.
Chas spoke candidly about the surreal feeling of being back with the band after battling through personal struggles. "It's just a total blur," he admits. "It's happened so fast, and I can barely believe it, but I'm stoked." The band's resilience is evident, and with new music released and tours lined up, Chas and his bandmates are more energized than ever. He also mentioned that getting back into the groove of performing has been an incredibly rewarding experience. "The shows so far have been insane," he says. "They feel so much better now, maybe it's just because I'm back, but it’s like nothing else."
Looking ahead, Justice For The Damned is gearing up for their headline Australian tour this March, covering major cities as well as more regional areas. "It’s going to be wild, especially the regional tour," Chas reveals. "Some of these places are so off the map for us, but we want to bring the energy to every corner of Australia." For Chas, this tour is especially significant because it marks his return to the stage in his home country after a long absence.
As for the music, the band's upcoming album promises to be an exciting blend of new sounds, with Chas describing the new material as more groovy and spacious compared to previous releases. The latest single, The Current, has already been well received by fans, and the band is eager to perform it live. Chas says the track has resonated with him on a personal level, reflecting both his struggles and triumphs. "It’s about endurance and resilience, things we’ve all gone through, especially in the last few years."
Looking back at the band's journey, Chas is grateful for the opportunity to connect with fans across the world. He’s especially excited about the upcoming regional shows, which he sees as a way of returning to the roots of their fan base. "We’re just excited to be bringing our music to places we’ve never been before," he says. "It’s the most fun you can have, playing to passionate people who might not always get the big shows coming through."
