Chase Nova Band – announce their newest single, and music video ‘Madness Costs Nothing’

Chase Nova Band announces the release of their newest single, and music video, ‘Madness Costs Nothing’, after an adventurous 2025. The highly anticipated single, the first since the release of their studio return “Beg For It Back”, this time last year.

Chase Nova Band are a genre-melding band based in Dublin, Ireland. Their music incorporates a wide array of influences; Rock-driven arrangements with a jazz sensibility engage the listener, while Hip-Hop and R’n’B-inspired vocal theatricality deliver poetic and politically timely lyrics. Chase is the lead songwriter for the group, while Ken, Georgia, Josh and James provide unique, dynamic soundscapes for each song. Their improvisational and spontaneous performances have been seen at major festivals across Ireland, such as Electric Picnic, Body & Soul and Knockanstockan, with headline slots at The Secret Village Festival and Livestock. Chase has played solo shows in the UK, mainland Europe, the US and the UAE. They’ve headlined shows in Whelans Upstairs, The Grand Social,  Sin É and The Workmans around Dublin, and played shows in Crane Lane, Monroe’s and The Spinnaker.

Their debut single “Echo” reached no. 3 in the iTunes Ireland singles charts while their debut album, “The Sobering Fact” reached no. 2 on the iTunes Ireland album charts. After a recording hiatus, they released “Beg For It Back” to rave reviews last year and have been quietly establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the live scene ever since.

“‘Madness Costs Nothing’ is one of those songs where I think the title sums up the sentiment quite nicely”, notes Chase. “We live in a world where we’re now being forced to accept the existence of a trillionaire, while we send taxpayer-funded police to evict someone for owing their landlord a few hundred euro. Furthermore, these huge corporations have pumped God knows how much money into promoting their AI products in what must be the most thinly-veiled attempt to oust entire sections of working and middle class workers from employment. It’s a disaster that privately funded media is working tirelessly to portray as inevitable….. it simply isn’t, and our leaders can and should intervene.”

“‘Madness’ begins with the line ‘I am a seeker of resplendent pleasure, and the pain of weaker blood in equal measure’ because that is how I see the billionaire class, and how I believe they see us. They’re not titans of industry and innovation, they are ravenous collectors of power and wealth who see the human race as a resource to indulge their addiction. Anyone expressing that unending gluttony for anything else would be labelled an addict or hoarder in desperate need of psychiatric intervention. What’s even more infuriating is the cultural narrative that these people are somehow more qualified to lead the human race because they got addicted to money rather than alcohol or heroin.”

“They can buy power, resources and influence, but their own madness was always available to them for nothing”.
