Betcha

Originating from a college dorm room, the Nashville based Alt band Betcha—a combination of the first letters of their names [Ben (lead guitar), Taylor (bass/keys), Charlie (vocals/guitar), and Chase(drums)]—have breathed new life into the traditional four-piece Rock band. On their 2019 debut Falling with Atlantic Records, expansive vibes encompass sweetly stoned rock, electronic-backed alternative, and punchy pop anthems, evoking the power of four.

As freshmen in 2015, Charlie and Ben started jamming together, writing songs, and filming acoustic videos. Both avowed Kings of Leon fans, the boys cold-emailed one of those D.I.Y. videos to GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Jacquire King [Kaleo, James Bay]. Impressed even at this early stage, Jacquire encouraged them to “keep going, get a band together, and send more music.” Throughout the summer of 2016, Charlie and Ben welcomed Taylor—who transitioned from guitar to bass in order to join—and Chase. Soon, the guys found themselves in the studio cutting demos with Jacquire behind the board. Building a profile, a deal with Atlantic Records followed a standout 2017 gig at The End in Nashville.

Their 2019 debut EP Falling was released to critical acclaim with praises from American Songwriter, Baeble, Ones to Watch, and LADYGUNN, and received significant Spotify playlist support including: Rockin’ Vibes, It’s ALT Good, The New Alt, License To Chill, and California Rock State.

They went on to attract a growing fan base by cutting their teeth on national tours alongside Kaleo, NEEDTOBREATHE, Judah & the Lion, Mat Maeson and more. Writing out of a basement work studio, hanging out constantly, and even attending the same gym, the musicians pushed each other creatively.

“Betcha is something you can listen to in any type of mood,” Charlie leaves off. “If you’re getting ready to hit the highway and need to fucking jam out, you can blast Betcha. If you’re feeling down and need something to vibe out to in your room, you can blast Betcha. We’re never going to limit ourselves. That’s our mindset, and it takes all of us to achieve it.”
