Chapter Music is an independent record label that began in Perth, Western Australia in June 1992, after a few issues of a fanzine called Chapter 24 that started in October 1990.
First a small-run cassette label documenting the Perth underground, Chapter slowly grew into a continent- and decade-spanning enterprise that takes in Australian archival post-punk, Japanese psychedelia and American avant-garde folk music, as well as continuing to document new Australian music.
Bands who have released music on Chapter (from most recently backwards) include: Kath Bloom & Loren Connors, Hit The Jackpot, Woelv, Pikelet, Frida Hyvonen (Sweden), Primitive Calculators, Sachiko Kanenobu (Japan), Always, Lakes, Kath Bloom (USA), Maher Shalal Hash Baz (Japan), Tenniscoats (Japan), Guy Blackman, Essendon Airport, Wagons, Minimum Chips, Letraset, Jeremy Dower, Tracey Read, Sleepy Township, Clare Moore, Tren Brothers, Steward (UK), Origami, Light's Surprising Constancy, The Cannanes, Smiley, Vivian Girls, Ninetynine, Andrew Wilson, Driving Past, Panel Of Judges, The Frustrations, Karl Smith, Small World Experience, Sea Scouts, Above Ground Pool, Sulk, Molasses, O! and many more!
