New Music First! Chapel Club @ Stamford Works 10/02/2010
Last week we checked out hotly tipped newcomers Chapel Club at their NME Shockwaves Award Show in Dalston, London. The quintet are starting to create quite the buzz and their intense live performance certainly backed up any hype. Lead singer Lewis Bowman fills the role of enigmatic lead singer, rarely moving throughout the bands performance – while the rest of the band creat a cacophony of noise that gives nods to Morrisey, Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. Recent single ‘O Maybe I’ – released through East City Records – proves a strong introduction to their sound but doesn’t quite prepare the listener for their live show. The band have recently completed a short tour around the UK and will undoubtedly be ones to keep your eye on throughout 2010.
