The Chameleons are an English rock band, formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester in 1981. The band's classic line-up consisted of lead vocalist and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarists Reg Smithies and Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever. Known for their atmospheric, guitar-based sound, the Chameleons are regarded as one of the most underrated Manchester bands of the 1980s. They did not attain the commercial success of other groups from the Manchester scene but developed a cult following.

  • The Chameleons, anche conosciuti come The Chameleons UK su alcune pubblicazioni negli Stati Uniti, sono stati un gruppo post-punk formatosi a Middleton, Greater Manchester, Inghilterra, nel 1981.
