Emerging from Glasgow’s buzzing student music scene, Chapter Select is an indie/rock outfit blending nostalgic VHS aesthetics with a bold, purple-streaked vision for modern guitar music. With shimmering riffs, head-bopping rhythms, and lyrics that flicker like home-recorded memories, the band have built a cult following for their cinematic sound and raw energy.

Since forming in 2026, Chapter Select have carved out a distinct identity - equal parts lo-fi dreamscape and anthemic rock. Their debut EP, In The City (2026), caught the attention of local venues and student bands alike, earning praise for its mix of youthful grit and retro flair. Tracks like “You're Not Jamie (unreleased)” and “Lazy Dad Jeans (unreleased)” showcase the band’s knack for pairing grunge-inspired guitar and drums with warm bass tones reminiscent of worn-out tape recordings.

Now gearing up for their next project set for release in summer 2026, Chapter Select are pushing their sound further—layering booming bass, driving drums  and swooping vocal melodies into something hypnotic and unmistakably their own. This project promises to explore themes of memory, technological decay, and the strange romance of imperfection—all wrapped in the band’s signature hue of purple melancholy.

With performances across Glasgow’s student venues and an ever-growing DIY following, Chapter Select are fast becoming one of the most exciting new names in Scottish indie rock. Their music invites listeners to press play, drift through static, and find beauty in the distortions of the past.
