Chasing Victory was a post-hardcore/Christian rock group from Camilla, Georgia. The band was formed in 2001 by Adam Harrell, Jeremy Lowery and Michael Lamb while they were still in high school. They started as a cover band called Bailey Drive where they started writing songs for A Not So Tragic Coverup EP. After the release of this album they signed with Mono Vs. Stereo Records and then released their first full-release album titled I Call This Abandonment in 2005 and their second album titled Fiends in 2007.[1] On September 24, 2007 the band announced they had broken up through their Myspace blog.[2] Recently the band has stated that they will be playing a few shows during the summer. On Adam's myspace page it has been stated that "Also Chasing Victory might be making a new album soon, just saying" and it is now rumored that the band is working on a brand new album.
