"I really really don’t usually like covers of our stuff, but these are fantastic" - Mark Burgess
********************
The Chameleons have always been somewhat of an oddity. Despite their timeless pop-rock appeal, and releasing three LP’s that came to set a standard for countless genre spanning bands to follow, they’ve received relatively little commercial success.
Formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester in 1981, by singer and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarists Reg Smithies and Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever, they released their debut album, "Script of the Bridge", in 1983. The songs a combination of soaring guitars, driving rhythms and the compelling vocals of Burgess, all melded together to form a singular lush wall of the most beautiful noise you’ve probably never heard the likes of.
It is because of this, and with great admiration, that Coitus Interruptus Productions proudly presents “Stranger Times”, a tribute to The Chameleons.
“Stranger Times” is offered 100% free of charge (or "Pay What You Want" to help support future releases).
Compiled and Produced by Coitus Interruptus Productions.
Mastered by Jasyn Bangert.
Artwork by Joshua McAllister.
