The Chapters
The Dublin five-piece band The Chapters are to release
‘Black Room’, the fourth single from their sparkling
debut album Perfect Stranger, amid a crescendo of critical
acclaim for both their dynamic live concerts and exhilarating
recordings.
The release of ‘Black Room’ will coincide with
a 30 date Irish and international tour taking in gigs
in London and Italy.
‘Black Room’ is the follow-up to their single
‘Moving’, also taken from the album Perfect
Stranger, and is likely to generate further kudos for
a band now generating the most positive vibes throughout
the music industry and the media.
The Chapters first made their mark in 2008, gigging to
large crowds nationwide while supporting Neil Young, Cathy
Davey, Chuck Berry and The Coronas, among other top names.
But their new-found success comes in the wake of many
trials and tribulations, including their first album being
written off after the record label closed. But The Chapters’
strength of character and commitment to their music prevailed,
and within weeks they had signed another deal, this time
with 3u Records, home to The Coronas. They started afresh,
and with a renewed determination laid down their debut
album with up-and-coming Irish producer Ciaran Bradshaw.
Now, at last, they are enjoying the rewards of that commitment.
The band’s sound marries a range of influences, from
Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac, Talking Heads, The Cars and
The Band, with their own timeless style to create music
that transcends musical fashion.
The Chapters are: Ross McNally, Simon Eustace, Turlough
Gunawardhana, Michael Murphy and Ciaran Fortune.
