The Chameleons and The Veldt

The Chameleons, a Manchester-based atmospheric pop band formed in 1981, are known for moody tracks like "In Shreds." They released albums such as "Script of the Bridge" and "Strange Times," collaborating with producer Steve Lillywhite. Despite splitting after their manager's death, they reunited in 2000, releasing new music and performing widely, continuing their influence on the post-punk genre over decades.

North Carolina’s Veldt, twin-led soul rock/shoegaze band known for stirring vocals and riffs, gained acclaim with hits like "Soul in a Jar," collaborating with Jesus & Mary Chain and Robin Guthrie.
