Chapter 24 are Claire Smith (vocals), Joe Green (guitar), Mel Stark (bass) and Mark Castro (drums.). They released their debut four-track EP in early 2011 on their own label, Chaps Records. Influenced by late ’70s punk, the Riot Grrrl movement and ’60s psychedelia, Chapter 24′s enthusiasm for playing live has seen them play at SXSW and open for Times New Viking, Japandriods and Thee Oh Sees.

On November 28, Corby/London four-piece Chapter 24 released two gems of unclassifiable brilliance – double A-side “Spindle” and “4454,” on Odd Box Records. “Spindle is a two minute blast of ultra angular, echo-chamber-heavy tribal art-rock with a kitsch exoctic riff thrown in for good measure. It sounds like a sexy Frankenstein modeled from various limbs of Bow Wow Wow, Ramones, and Hawkwind members.

“4454″ manages to combine stoner-doom, Erase Errata erraticness, Bush Tatras-style funk and Sleater Kinney-esque scuzz, resulting in an anthem for non-generic music fans.
