She Wants Revenge.Now, The Chameleons have released their newest EP, titled ‘Where Are You’. Frontman Burgess said of the EP: “It’s exciting to finally be putting out fresh Chameleons material for the first time in over twenty years, although initially I found it quite daunting.“The question about new music is one I had been asked the most from people coming to the shows, a great many of whom weren’t even born when those records were originally made but nevertheless were excited and inspired by the music enough to catch multiple shows on multiple tours.”Listen to ‘Where Are You’ down below:The EP, which contains its title track along with ‘Endlessly Falling’ and ‘Forever’, is set to be the first taster of their upcoming album ‘Arctic Moon’, reportedly out later this year on Metropolis Records.

The album will be The Chameleons’ first without founding drummer John Lever, who died in 2017, and guitarist Dave Fielding, who originally left the band in 1987.The Chameleons will also embark on a tour in North American to play their classic 1986 album ‘Strange Times’ in full.

Says Burgess of the tour: “I initially wasn’t a huge fan of album performance tours I believed instead that they ought to have been confined to one-off, special events. ‘Performing Strange Times’ changed my mind.“For one thing, the album marked a significant evolution by the band both in its sound and the maturity of the writing.
