Chapter 24

It’s always good news when the blog/website from which you first hear about a band decide they love them so much that they start a label to distribute that music to the music loving world – and that is exactly what happened with Chapter 24 and The 405/New Pyramid.

We put Chapter 24’s bouncy, raucous Hepcats on our Lost Mixtape vol.2 a couple of months ago after finding the band in the405’s bands to watch in 2010 list and falling head over heels for them. And since then Oliver and Danny from The 405 have started a label by the name of New Pyramid and are releasing Chapter 24’s double a-side single Down in the Sea/Gregory as their debut. It all just works.

Down in the Sea is a little calmer than previous offerings, showing Chapter 24’s more melodic side – it sounds almost like a rock and roll lullaby. But Gregory is back to what you expect from the band with some jarring danceable rhythms, a lot of chaos, and with singer Claire Smith’s rough vocals bringing the whole thing to a clattering crescendo.
