**Chasing Victory** is an American [post-hardcore](/source/Post-hardcore) band from [Camilla, Georgia](/source/Camilla%2C_Georgia).

## Band-history

The band was formed in 2001 by vocalist Adam Harrell, guitarist Jason Lowery, drummer Jeremy Lowery, bassist Taylor Sullivan, and guitarist Michael Lamb while they were in high school.[1] They started as a [cover band](/source/Cover_band) called Bailey Drive, where they started writing songs for their debut [EP](/source/Extended_play) *A Not So Tragic Cover Up*.[2] After the release of this EP, they signed with [Mono vs. Stereo](/source/Mono_vs_Stereo) and released their first full-length album, *I Call This Abandonment*, in 2005, followed by their second album, *Fiends*, in 2007.[3]

Between March and May 2007, the band went on a US tour with [See You Next Tuesday](/source/See_You_Next_Tuesday_(band)), [August Burns Red](/source/August_Burns_Red), and [From a Second Story Window](/source/From_a_Second_Story_Window).[4] On September 24, 2007, the band announced they had broken up through their [Myspace](/source/Myspace) blog.[5] In 2008, they played a few shows during the summer.[6] In 2010, Harrell and the Lowerys announced the formation of a new band called Astoria and released a six-song EP called *[E.P.(ic) - EP*].[7]

In January 2014, vocalist Adam Harrell announced that he and his wife were planning on adopting a child and that Chasing Victory would be reuniting for one show in the near future to help raise money for the adoption. The show was a success, and the Harrells adopted their new daughter shortly after.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

In 2016, the band announced their reformation with the release of a new song entitled "She Haunts Me" on [Halloween](/source/Halloween), and the band played several shows throughout the Southeast US in the summer of 2017.[1]

The band released a new independent EP entitled *Friends, Volume 1* in early 2018.[8]
