They spent over a year rehearsing and performing before recording their first demotape. Initially associated with the acid rock scene, they later became known as one of the influential "shoegazer" groups of 1991.

Formed in Reading in 1987 by Andrew Sherriff (guitar/vocals), Stephen Patman (guitar), Simon Rowe (guitar), Jon Curtis (bass) and Ashley Bates (drums), Chapterhouse took their time to perfect their sound before recording any music. Initially associated with the British acid rock scene, they later found themselves categorized as one of the prominent "shoegazer" groups alongside Lush, Moose, and Slowdive due to their static live performances and introspective music style.

The band gained recognition after signing with Dedicated label where they released highly acclaimed singles such as Pearl which achieved success on the UK charts. With distorted melodies that attracted a dedicated following, Chapterhouse started gaining attention internationally as well.

Box Sets

With 20 unreleased tracks. Emerging from Reading in the late 1980s, Chapterhouse burst onto the British music scene with 1990’s ‘Freefall’ EP and the critically acclaimed album Whirlpool. Impossible to categorise, the band were quickly embraced by both the music press and a global audience, and soon found themselves part of the emergent shoegaze scene alongside contemporaries such as Slowdive and Ride.

Curated by the band and overflowing with previously unheard material, Chronology charts Chapterhouse’s progress through two brilliant albums, a number of classic singles and EPs, remixes by contemporaries such as Global Communication, Drum Club and Spooky, and their attempt to write and record an ultimately unrealised third album. Told through new interview material, previously unseen imagery and design overseen by the band themselves, this is the story of one of the most individual and enigmatic bands of their era, and one who continue to be cherished by both their original fanbase and a generation of new fans drawn to the shoegaze scene’s revival over the past decade.

Packaged in a hard slipcase box, complete with mini LP replica wallets and a 64 page booklet, and five years in the making, Chronology is a definitive, in-depth set which will inspire nostalgia among fans of a certain age and creativity among those currently exploring similar sonic territory.
