The Chapman Family Announce New Single 'This One's For Love'

After the success of free download 'ADULT', The Chapman Family announce their first official track of 2013.
'This One's For Love' represents a new side to the band, inspired by the melancholy tenderness of The Cure but with an irresistibly hopeful tone. Improbable romantics they may be but this is a song of unashamed optimism and an astonishing pop sensibility that strips away all the preconceived schmaltzy notions of a "Love Song".
The B-side, 'Into The Breach', is probably their most brutal track to date and acts to reassure you that they certainly haven't lost their bite. A soaring tirade of guitars and cut-to-the-bone vocals have already made this track a legendary live prospect, its raw impact and savage punk tone a formidable and welcome assault.
The band's return to form was confirmed in January with a free download release 'ADULT', which was picked up by long time supporters Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy. Showing the band at the top of their game, the subsequent anticipation for new material was palpable and the boys have exceeded even their own expectations with this new offering, the second track to be unveiled from their forthcoming new album (expected in Autumn 2013).
