"Something of a best kept secret�.They could be your new favorite band, just give them a try." Gareth Maher, Totally Dublin ..."On the subject of great records by Irish bands, watch out for the new EP by The Chapters. It's one of the best things to come out of Ireland in years, with four great songs that set the bar higher than it's been in a long time for local outfits. A message to A&R guys: someone should sign 'em up quick' cos they have what it takes for the long haul Niall Stokes, Hotpress Review for 'Four Thorns' 06

- The Chapters have been building to the release of their debut album for some time – since they formed in college. It is the culmination of years of passion and hard work. Newly signed to 3u Records (home of The Coronas), the band spent a month in the studio in early 2009. The result is the debut album: Perfect Stranger. It is the sound of old friends at a celebration. Rumours era Fleetwood Mac singing at a party hosted by Talking Heads, gatecrashed by The Cars, throw in a bit of Phoenix and a wink to The Band and you have the idea.
First single 'Videotapes' released 1st May 2009.
'Perfect Stranger' is released 5th June 2009
