One In The Chamber Drops New Record, Reload

Since the release of their 2018 debut studio EP, One In The Chamber has been compared to the likes of Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Mötley Crüe. Now, following the release of singles "Blow" & "To The Gallows", One In The Chamber has returned with their second studio EP, Reload.

After years of writing, rehearsing, and testing material on the road, One In The Chamber has delivered their follow-up record to their acclaimed 2018 debut studio EP, I've Got Something To Say..., with Reload, a 5 track EP built upon previously release singles, "Blow" & "To The Gallows". Reload is One In The Chamber's answer to the new and growing wave of rock & roll driven by the likes of Greta Van Fleet, Dirty Honey, The Wild, and Crown Lands. Recorded in 2020 - pre-pandemic - the FACTOR funded EP saw One In The Chamber return to Phase One Studios to record with producer and engineer, Murray Daigle, and engineer, Mike Smith. The result is a hard hitting, 5 song record that feels nostalgic - like flipping through an old crate of vinyl - but fresh enough to elicit a sense of excitement and surprise.

Since releasing Reload, One In The Chamber embarked on their summer tour, which included an album release party at Toronto's El Mocambo, a headlining set at Kawartha Pyrofest, and a pair of performances for 97.7 HTZ FM's Rocksearch semi-finals and finals. Additionally, One In The Chamber was named Emerging Band of the year by the Mississauga Arts Council, while Reload was nominated for Album Of The Year by Mississauga Music. To cap off a massive year, the band launched Reloaded, their signature blend of coffee, made in partnership with Hades Coffee.

Despite the challenges presented to the live music community, One In The Chamber has pressed forward with a successful two year period that exceeded their own expectations. With the release of two singles and music videos - "Blow" and "To The Gallows" - One In The Chamber has continued to grow digitally, reaching over 80,000 Spotify streams. In addition to numerous live stream performances - most notably a pair of shows with 101.5 The Wolf FM, a performance hosted by the Mississauga Art's Council, and Halloween Rock N' Eve, a concert in support of Hamilton Health Sciences - the band has also performed at festivals, a pair of sold out shows, and their first ever theatre performance as live concerts returned to Ontario. Additionally, One In The Chamber was named 'Best Rock Band' of 2020 by Blue Rhymez Entertainment and were semi-finalists in 97.7 HTZ FM's 2020 Rocksearch competition.

Additionally, the road to Reload saw One In The Chamber partner Muskoka Brewery, Hades Coffee, Sock Bro, and Chica's Chicken, to create a massive and unique pre-sale campaign. As a result, fans had the chance to win some killer prizes from the band's favourite local and independent Ontario businesses - including the very first taste of Reloaded, their signature blend of coffee, created in collaboration with Hades Coffee. The response to Reload and early reviews have been overwhelming, while the support the band has seen since announcing their latest record has been tremendous.

Recorded during the same sessions as Reload, "Blow" & "To The Gallows" were both released as singles and music videos in 2020. The former was not only the band's fastest growing release, but it remains their most streamed song, racking up over 60,000 streams on Spotify alone. On the other hand, "To The Gallows" marked a stylistic departure for the band as they dug deep into their alternative influences, making for a darker and haunting delivery. Both songs have been featured on radio networks throughout North America, Australia, and The UK, and were featured on Loudwire's Weekly Wire Spotify playlist. Furthermore, the two singles garnered comparisons to a range of artists, from Led Zeppelin to Alice In Chains and Velvet Revolver to Metallica.

Previously, One In The Chamber has released their award winning and celebrated 2018 debut studio EP, I've Got Something To Say....The EP has surpassed 100,000 Spotify streams along with receiving international radio play. The EP led to music videos for singles "Bills To Pay" and "Itchin' Back" and would be named Canadian EP of 2018 by Canadian Beats. Furthermore, both music videos would be nominated for Independent Rock Video of 2018 & 2019 by Dropout Entertainment, and the band was featured live on Toronto's CP24.

Since Forming in 2015, the band has tirelessly performed throughout Toronto, across Ontario, as well as an international performance at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Their 2019 Summer Tour culminated with their sold-out Indie Week Festival debut opening for The Wild. One In The Chamber has shared the stage with Scott Weiland, Derek St. Holmes, and Darby Mills, while also appearing on the same festival bill as the likes of The Offspring, Ill Scarlet, and Sumo Cyco. One In The Chamber was also a part of Epidemic Music Group's Guinness World Record Breaking Concert, which ran for over 16 days.

Since returning to the stage in 2021, the band has performed at Voodoo Rockfest followed by two sold out shows in Toronto, and their first ever theatre performance at The Rose Theatre.

Praise For One In The Chamber:

"Edgier and quite unpredictable... A thrilling ride... One In The Chamber has something to say, and, after this, we're listening"

- Jessica Young; Lemonwire, Toronto -

"Think of a cocktail combination of Led Zeppelin and Motley Crue"

- Matt Owczarz; Modern Mississauga, Mississauga -

"They are raw rock & roll"

- Aaron Badgley; The Spill Magazine, Toronto -

"The songs feel incredibly plush with gritty riffs, screaming vocals and a beat you can bang your head to with enough swagger it would cause Mick Jagger to take notice!"

- Nicole Marie; Canadian Beats, Toronto -

"One In The Chamber captures a very classic 1970's authentic rock & roll feel."

- Neel Modi; Song Talk Radio, Toronto –

"Imagine if Motley Crue and Alice In Chains hooked up and had a metal baby that wasn’t as much of an asshole and wasn’t strung out on heroin. That is what you get here with One In The Chamber’s ‘Bills To Pay’"

- Anthony Leclair, Swept Media, Ontario -

“Drawing comparisons all the way from Led Zeppelin and Motörhead to Black Keys and Heavens Basement; this is the kind of timeless music that would fit in any decade”

- Andy Payne; Spirit Level Magazine, London -

“The band’s own version of hard rock adopts elements and characteristics traditional to the genre, yet manages to incorporate a slightly southern style too, something akin to that of Pantera”

- Nick Ross; The Moshville Times, UK -

"Like Queens Of The Stone Age crossed with Buckcherry"

- Natalie Perez; Natalie's World, Los Angeles -
