CHAPEL CLUB ( - UK)
Influenced by Joy Division, New Order and The Smiths, with stern expressions and shirts buttoned right up to the neck, Chapel Club are keeping the great English post punk tradition alive. Chapel Club could even be called the blueprint of the genre: five guys the wrong side of their twenties, brought together by word of mouth, unparalleled singer and composer of inspired lyrics. Remember his name; as Lewis Bowman with his powerful Ian McCulloch style voice sings all the songs of this new group.”Palace”, their first album, is a real war machine and their first single, “Surfacing”, was labelled the “Hottest Record In The World” by BBC1 on its release. Their career is flawless. Nobody has made such a stunning entrance since (either) Interpol, Foals or Editors.
