There are two artists with the name Chamberlain.
Chamberlain was an indie rock band from Indianapolis & Bloomington, Indiana, previously having been known as Split Lip, they changed their name and their general sound away from hardcore punk in 1996.
The band released Fate’s Got A Driver in 1996, toured the US and Europe and took time out to record a new demo. After appearing at numerous major label events, the band were due to sign for Revolution Records, an imprint of Warner Music Group, but a signing freeze just before putting pen to paper thwarted them.
The band returned to the studio in 1998 to record their sophomore album for Doghouse Records, The Moon My Saddle. After several line-up changes which saw Clay Snyder, Curtis Mead and Charlie Walker leave the band, the group promptly broke-up. Their third album, Exit 263, a collection of uncompleted songs, was released independently in 2000 through the band’s management company.
The double CD retrospective, Five-Year Diary (which is also the name of a song from Fate’s Got A Driver) was released independently in 2002. The album features live tracks and old demo recordings.
The members are currently involved with many different musical projects in New York City, Los Angeles and Indianapolis.
The other band known as Chamberlain is originally from Palmerston North, New Zealand. They are Ben Kendrew (vocals), Jonny Kennaugh (guitar), Nathan Lauridsen (bass, keys), and Hayden Lauridsen (drums). Originally known as Pie, they started playing and gigging when in high school. As they finished their education and played more frequently they decided to take on a more mature name and thus Chamberlain was born.

May I be so bold as to say David Moores songwriting was unmatched by any other songwriter of Chamberlains genre. A truly amazing and sometimes overlooked craftsmen.

The Split Lip version of Fate's Got a Driver is much better than the Chamberlain version.

to answer the fate's got a driver question. because the cd was originally written by their original version of the band, and when they changed their style (same time as the name change), they re-recorded the album as chamberlain.
