About this item

Stapleton's debut album "Rebuild the Pier" (released on Year 3 Thousand Records) was released in late 2000, to critical acclaim, scoring them four Ks in Kerrang and numerous support slots. "The Enjoyment of Unpleasant Places" will establish Stapleton without a doubt as one of the best bands in the UK. The new record retains the urgency of the debut, yet shows a massive maturing in song writing. They still know how to write a jarringly beautiful post hardcore classic such as "Esplanade" with its angular guitars, time signature changes and urgent vocals, they're simply one of the best guitar bands in Britain today.
