Hello and welcome to episode 160 of the ACPG Podcast.

This week Ben is zoom with Charlie and Jake of Chappaqua Wrestling.

They talk about Chappaqua Wrestling's debut album 'Plus Ultra' which is out this Friday (depending on when you read this), touring, getting start and a mutual love for Manchester music. 

For their debut album, Chappaqua Wrestling knew that they wanted to step above the noise of the concrete everyday. To match their songs about political despondency and social change, Jake and Charlie wanted to create surrealist artwork, teetering on the brink of despair and release.

Both Jake and Charlie know a thing or two about leaps of faith. Meeting at school in Brighton, the pair were bandmates before they were true friends, discovering a shared love of 00s indie.

Where many school friendships peter out after results day, the Mac & Woods partnership stood firm. While Charlie went travelling, Jake headed to Manchester for University, joined by his best friend a year later. As the cogs turned on the final year of their degrees, their musical experiments solidified as Chappaqua Wrestling, earning them a slot at the Great Escape festival and some early local buzz. Whilst grateful to be adopted as a Mancunian band, they’re keen to point out that this isn’t the case, not wanting to unfairly ride the coattails of the city’s legendary scene.

We hope you enjoy it and we will see you next week with Schak.
