Formed just over a year ago in the grim North of England, The Chapman Family have already featured on compilation CDs for Dance To The Radio, Artrocker, NARC Magazine, and for Firestation Records in Germany. They have toured relentlessly since their conception preaching their own particular brand of family values up and down the Britain supporting the likes of The Enemy, 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster and Reverend and The Makers. 

Some magazines have been very nice about them : 

"High speed jitter-pop destined to get every discerning indie kid shaking their denim clad hips." NME 

"It’s a brutally hard noise...what strikes is the sheer momentum that the Chapman’s generate. They motor along in a blur of anger." Artrocker 

In addition to airplay on college radio in the USA and mainland Europe, The Chapman Family have been getting regular radio play with unreleased tracks on various local stations in their native north east where they are fast building a rabid fan base, (the bands’ t-shirts emblazoned with "THE CHAPMAN FAMILY IS NOT A CULT" are permanently in demand). 

They are not a cult. But they should be your favourite band.
