Following the much publicized split of the ‘Vendettas’ Luke Holdsworth (26) has moved quickly to form a brilliant new original band sharply named ‘The Chessmen’. The new trio consists of Luke, singer, songwriter and lead guitarist, Scott (17) on drums and Ryan (20) playing bass guitar.

Mod radio have had the pleasure of watching the line up in action and they play with frenetic passion and adrenalin fuelled articulate professionalism.

Having chatted at length with ‘The Chessmen’ the guys have an equal embedded determination and drive to succeed in the tough music industry. Luke stipulates he always gives 110% effort to his project and expects his input to be matched by all members. This is apparent with the new tracks which are a team production.

The easy banter between ‘The Chessmen’ provides an insight into the working chemistry of the band and a deep mutual respect.

In short the abstract natures of these three personalities is proving the perfect mix to a very successful future. Mod radio is fully supporting these guys on their journey to deserved recognition and as our stamp of approval have formed a working relationship to manage ‘The Chessmen’.

Look forward to a fantastic future for the band and station. .
