Chamberlain was born out of friendship and an appreciation for music as a means to entertain and inform. Unlike so many young bands, Chamberlain has maintained the same line-up that started off back before the turn of the century.
Chamberlain’s sound has been compared to Incubus and the Red Hot Chili Peppers for their ability to fuse funk grooves with charging rock. There are traces of their early appreciation of heavier acts Rage Against The Machine, P.O.D., Foo Fighters and Shihad, but that is complimented by a musical sensibility akin to Switchfoot, Ben Harper or the Dave Matthews Band. It is an absorbing sound that has the listener both rocking along and engrossed.
Seven years running, they have had numerous highlights, including sharing the stage with distinguished NZ artists like Mumsdolar, Wash, Zed, Neil Finn and Spacifix; touring high schools around New Zealand; performing at more than four Parachute Festivals; and featuring on a TV special of rockquest finalists.
Chamberlain has evolved with a fresh sound having honed their song-writing. Now, with debut EP, REFRACTION released mid-way through 2007, Chamberlain's impressive, vibrant live set is now encapsulated on record - and it has been warmly received.
Nation-wide radio is picking up on Chamberlain, with two singles, ‘Bring Me In’ and ‘Should Know Better’ helping to garner a healthy fanbase.
Chamberlain are at once exuberant and experienced, both fresh and accomplished. Exciting prospects for sure.
Welcome to the future of New Zealand rock.

Refraction EP | Chamberlain
love-music-good

Rarely has a song captured my attention like 'Should Know Better', the first track on kiwi band Chamberlain's Refraction EP. It begins with a monster riff cribbed from Stevie Wonder. To be sure, this is a song built around a riff rather than the other way around, but it still rocks harder than Mr Wonder ever could.

'Say What You Need' displays Chamberlain's songwriting skill better. It shifts from a raw and pounding verse into a lush and melodic chorus. When the chiming guitars kick in, it's a 'shivers-down-the-spine' moment.

There is a muscular funk groove that runs through this EP and helps Chamberlain avoid sounding like an everday rock band. Their style is a memorable one. If there is criticism to be had, it is that occasionally Chamberlain wear their influences a little too obviously on their collective sleeves. The first verse of 'New Day' is a too close to Incubus's 'Wish You Were Here' for comfort. And while we're going for it, the drumming is a bit busy for my taste at times also. But perhaps I am just projecting my frustration at having played with many overly busy drummers over the years.

Yet this is a minor quibble. For a debut release, the Refraction EP is actually startlingly original. Chamberlain arrive with a sound that is fully formed, unique and will undoubtedly get your feet moving. Ben Kendrew's vocals complement the band nicely; particularly on the last track 'Bring Me In'. His melodies are interesting and catchy; quite an achievement.

It would be a cliche to say that the Refraction EP points to a bright future for Chamberlain. In reality, Chamberlain play and sound like that bright future has already arrived. Now it's time for the rest of the world to catch up.
