British electro-rock band the Chap were formed in North London by Claire Hope, Johannes Von Weizsäcker, Panos Ghikas, and Keith Duncan. Their debut album, The Horse, was released in 2003, followed by the EP (Hats Off To) Dror Frangi. Their second full-length album, Ham, arrived in 2005. A second EP, The Chop, followed in 2007. Their third album, Mega Breakfast, was released in 2008. They signed to Ghostly International, which issued Mega Breakfast in the U.S. later that year as their first official American release. After touring in support of Mega Breakfast, the Chap recorded their fourth album, 2010’s Well Done Europe, a sleeker, more electronically inclined set of songs. ~ William Ruhlmann
