The Chapman Family
The Chapman Family have signed to Best Before Records and are set to release their amazing EP ‘Cruel Britannia’ on 18.6.12 followed by more new material expected later this year. The Chapman Family will be playing at this years‘The Great Escape’ on Friday the 11th at the Best Before Records Showcase @ LIFE, 9pm.
Self-produced ‘Cruel Britannia’ showcases their best song writing to date, continuing their reign as one of the best alternative bands in the country.
New line-up changes see TCF expand to five members (Kingsley vocals/keyboard, Pop lead guitar, Owen guitar, Scott drums and Kevin bass) reaching a new level of intensity live, while broadening their creative reach in the studio.
No More Tears, Cruel Britannia, English Life and Summer Song roar against a culture being swallowed up by idleness and intolerance. Harder, faster and louder this time, with the EP ending on a dark, melancholic note in the form of The Smiths cover ‘Every Day Is Like Sunday’.
Best Before Records announced, "The Chapman Family are one of the most exciting bands of the last 5 years, being huge fans, we're very exciting to be working with them!!"
