CHANT
RECORDS
Chant Records was a DIY label of Sudden Sway,
who were a pop group from Peterborough, England, The band was formed in
1980 by Mike McGuire (vocals) and Steve Rolls (Guitar) Pete Jostins (Bass),
Shaun Foreman (Guitar & Keyboards) and Colin Meech (Drums). Their first
releases were two self-financed singles, "Janie's Third Party" and the To You,
With Regard EP, in 1980 and 1981 respectively. The latter was sufficiently
successful to attract major-label interest from CBS and Virgin Records, but
after a further single on their own 'Chant' label, and with guitarist Simon
Childs added as a permanent member, they signed a deal with Warners subsidiary
Blanco y Negro, Distributed By.
