Press Quotes
"With bongo drums, keyboard, bassist, drummer and only one guitarist, musically some people say that Cold Hand Chemistry shouldn’t work, but they do. This female fronted progressive rock/metal band, with their passion for the music and catchy songs always put on a great show and tonight they didn’t disappoint. Pulling out all the stops, even for a handful of people, they blasted their way through some of their more popular songs and adding a new one, “Monsoon”, to the mix. Finally ending the show with a cover of Nightwish’s “Nemo”, which seemed to go down well with everyone."
Wayne Smith - Metal4Africa
"Cold Hand Chemistry hit the stage like a tornado in full flight, incredibly engaging and intense; this band immediately took over and took charge. They’re tight, they’re dynamic and they can write and perform songs of sheer power and rare beauty. Chantel, the sonic siren fronting this lot has a voice very few, in any genre, can hold a candle to, and she knows how to use it - getting the gathered masses to rock out to the band’s pounding and poignant barrage. Bravo indeed, this is fast becoming one of my, and the rest of Cape Town’s, favourite bands. With very good reason."
Malcolm - LoveCats Mercury gig
"Breath taking performance. Chantel has beautiful strong voice and the band members do there part. Together they compliment each other in a orgasmic sound of perfection and talent. If you have not seen one of there shows yet, you should make a plan. "
Ryno De Villiers - The Eye of Horus Club
"“It’s energetic and it’s passionate and it’s good. At times melodic at times heavy and aggressive, the music takes you on a journey of catchy hooks, and heartfelt lyrics.” "
Tabletalk
"“Their music is an eclectic mix of symphonic rock, percussion, a hint of the blues, punk, metal, a grip of grunge with a slight gothic influence. They created a symphony of sound that has their signature written all over it"
