    Much like the performance that has forever etched the band into my brain, this LP has a whole lot of showmanship and theatricality, but under the surface it's a refreshing take on the post-punk movement.

    Once you strip away all this nonsense, The Chapman Family's music is thunderous and well produced.

    Burn Your Town makes a refreshing change from your average debut indie LP for a couple of primary reasons. Firstly, it's showcasing a band who, rather than going down the easy route, actually care a lot more about first impressions than most of their contemporaries. Secondly, it hints that they could grow and mature nicely.

    They're not so much fiddling while Rome burns as clattering bass and drums magnificently while they take a torch to Redcar.
