Mallory Knox at The Live Rooms

Mikey Chapman is back at the heart of Mallory Knox. After stepping away in 2018, the original
vocalist returned with the band's classic lineup at Slam Dunk 2024 - bringing the unmistakable
voice of their breakthrough era back to the songs that helped define a generation of British
alternative rock. Now, Chapman, James Gillett and Dave Rawling are carrying that chemistry into
new music: not to reproduce the past, but to build decisively upon it.
Across their first three albums, Mallory Knox scored three consecutive UK Top 40 records. Debut album
Signals entered the Official Albums Chart at No. 33 in 2013; Asymmetry climbed to No. 16 in 2014; and
Wired followed at No. 18 in 2017. Signals and Wired each reached No. 1 on the Official Rock & Metal
Albums Chart, while Asymmetry topped the Official Record Store Chart. The band's crossover extended
to singles too: "Ghost in the Mirror" reached No. 85 on the Official Singles Chart and No. 3 on the Rock &
Metal Singles Chart, with multiple releases earning BBC Radio 1 playlist support.
That momentum was matched by a formidable live reputation. Mallory Knox have made major-stage
appearances at Reading & Leeds, Download and Slam Dunk; performed at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend;
and taken their music internationally to Vans Warped Tour and Germany's Rock am Ring and Rock im
Park. Their headline history includes sold-out nights at London's Electric Ballroom, KOKO and
Roundhouse, while high-profile support slots have placed them alongside A Day To Remember, Bring Me
The Horizon, One OK Rock and Sleeping With Sirens.
The recognition followed. Mallory Knox appeared on the covers of Kerrang! and Rock Sound, earned a
Kerrang! Award nomination for Best British Newcomer in 2013, and saw Asymmetry nominated for Best
Album at the 2015 Kerrang! Awards. Critical coverage repeatedly singled out the band's emotional
honesty, vocal interplay and widescreen intensity.
Chapman's return transformed the 2024 reunion from a celebration into a genuine second act. The band
re-emerged on the Slam Dunk main stage before taking Asymmetry back on the road for its tenth
anniversary. The response confirmed that both the songs and that defining vocal connection had lost
none of their power: established fans returned in force, while a new generation discovered Mallory Knox
for the first time.
Now, Mallory Knox return with a renewed sense of purpose.
Moving forward as Mikey Chapman, James Gillett and Dave Rawling, the band have spent the past year
writing and recording a new collection of music that does not seek to recreate the past - it builds upon it.
The forthcoming EP captures the huge hooks, crushing guitars, cinematic atmosphere and deeply
personal lyricism that made Mallory Knox resonate in the first place, while embracing the perspective,
confidence and musicianship earned through years of experience.
This is music written not to revisit a moment, but to begin a new chapter. With fresh material, live
performances and ambitious plans ahead, Mallory Knox are stepping back into the spotlight with the
same passion that first brought them together - and a clear vision for where they are headed next.
