FOX CHAPEL

Fox Chapel are a four piece indie rock band from Northampton. Inspired by the likes of Diiv and Beach Fossils, they released their dreamy, melodious single 'Imagery' back in January this year. They have played BBC introducing stage at Northampton Music Festival 2014, Main stage at Truck Festival 2015, Strawberry Fields Festival 2015, and have shared a stage with Saint Raymond, Temples, VANT, Pleasure House and many more. I was lucky enough to catch them on the main stage at Truck Festival and they did not let me down, their set was amazing and there was such a feel good vibe, everyone was enjoying themselves.

They released their debut EP titled 'Frames' back in August, including the four funky feel good tracks, 'Afternoon', 'No Healing', 'Always' and 'Mind/Atlas', my favourite being ' No Healing' due to the vibrant distortion of the guitar and the strong rhythmic drum beats reminding me of the early days of Bloc Party. 2005-2008 Indie Rock isn't dead thanks to these incredibly talented guys. The wonderful Lucy Rose who has performed some backing vocals for Bombay Bicycle Club is a fan of Fox Chapel and has said "Reminds me of early Bombay Bicycle Club, imagine they will be really fun to watch live. I'll most certainly try and get down the front." If that's not enough to convince you to check these guys out then I don't know what is.

 The Lamplighter, Northampton 15/1/16 w/ JUICE
