With Oasis reuniting for a stadium tour and the jittery, post-millennial indie rock of Interpol and Editors making a comeback, it’s fitting that the Chameleons – the Manchester group to whom all these groups, as well as artists like Billy Corgan, owe a debt of influence – would also be back in action.
The Chameleons emerged in 1981 as part of the U.K.’s post-punk scene, arriving between the demise of Joy Division and the rise of New Order and the Smiths.
