The Chelsea Curve, deliver yet another soon to be iconic track with their new simply irresistible single, “Rally Round”

Applying a sense of communal awareness with the motivation of hope and a message of coexistence and solidarity, The Chelsea Curve invite us all to “Rally ‘Round” those around us, and hold close the ones we hold dear.

With a sugary-sweet embrace and a shimmering sound that connects a ‘60s folk-pop ethos with a college rock, jangle-pop, and C86 glide, and not to mention a bit of a melodic call-back to Boston’s mid-’90s indie scene, “Rally ‘Round” is the latest in a string of singles for The Chelsea Curve. It follows a pair of sonic firecrackers over the summer in restless powderkeg bop “Kindawanna” and the anthemic, Britpop-inspired “Never Come Down.”

Interestingly enough, the trio — bassist and vocalist Linda Pardee, guitarist and vocalist Tim Gillis, and drummer Bruce Caporal – admit this new indie cruiser has taken on a bit of a different vibe, thematically, since it was first penned back in 2023. And that’s due to the world around us. 

“This song has morphed into a different meaning than what was originally intended when written,” admits Pardee. “The lyrics were initially about friendships, acquaintances, people coming into your life. Being part of a community. Finding your people. Despite differences, we can or should be able to at least co-exist.” 

She adds: “I realized that, since writing the lyrics, they may come across a little differently now given the current social climate, and that’s okay. It’s hard to be an optimist sometimes, but when I sing ‘We’re all on the same side’, I am thinking – at the very least, we are all humans. But it’s not always easy to sing it, because it doesn’t feel that way.” 

The Chelsea Curve, artfully craft music that touches the mind and soul but it is also music that you can’t help but groove to.
