Helmed by founding member and songwriter, Chris Pope, The Chords UK were formed in 2013. After five years of touring, including dates in Europe and the USA, and with the release of two critically acclaimed alt – rock albums, ‘Take on Life’ (2016) and ‘Nowhere Land’ (2018), Chris and the Chords UK have achieved just that. Chris has been described by Paul Weller as “the best songwriter of his generation”, by UNCUT as “savage as Townshend with a toothache” and VIVE LE ROCK as “timeless song writing and understated brilliance!” The band comprising Chris, Mic Stoner, Kenny Cooper and Sandy Michie have been cited live as “an incendiary rock n roll outfit” by Louder Than War.
