The Chapman Family announce huge UK tour

The Chapman Family ave announced a massive UK tour starting in November. The band will be performing songs from the recent Artrocker album of the month, Burn Your Town.

Appropriately considering the album title and the band's political nature, the band also released a statement dealing with the recent London riots. In part, it read;

"The riots this August proved that if enough people can be mobilised under an ideal then they cannot be stopped. Whether the reasons for the violence and rage felt in our capital and throughout this country were righteous or not is irrelevant, it’s the motivational message that matters. It’s a message that resonated deep within us and it’s the message that has inspired us.

We have always striven to be a band that stood for something, to be a band where the word dissonance wasn’t just used as a description of our sound, to be a band that were never afraid to say what we really felt and to never compromise or sell out our integrity. Now more than ever we feel capable of living up to what we always hoped we could be."
