Chapterhouse - Topic

Chapterhouse were a British "shoegaze" band from Reading, Berkshire, England. Formed in 1987 by Andrew Sherriff, Stephen Patman and Simon Rowe, the band began performing alongside Spacemen 3. They released two albums: Whirlpool (1991) and Blood Music (1993). The group temporarily reformed in 2008 after being asked to join Ulrich Schnauss onstage to perform his cover version of their song "Love Forever" at the Truck Festival in Oxfordshire. The band finished the brief reunion with two gigs in London (2009–2010) and tours of North America and Japan in 2010.

In March of 2023, Cherry Red Records released a 6-CD boxset of Chapterhouse's entire back catalogue. The boxset was curated by the band and included twenty previously unreleased songs from throughout their tenure.
