Stockton-on-Tees' finest fiery post-punk exponents have had an exceptional couple of years - from the NME Radar Tour with La Roux to supporting Janes Addiction, playing at Glastonbury and SXSW, to touring Japan alongside Stereophonics. 2011 has seen the release of their long awaited debut album - think best bits of Editors and White Lies mixed with Northern grit, raw passion and a dash of trademark fuzzy noise. The Chapman Family's incendiary and chaotic shows make them one of the finest live bands in the UK, and we are immensely proud to welcome them back on to home turf. 'We need a band like The Chapman Family.' - NME
