The group -- now eight members strong -- claimed that classical darling Charlotte Church was their backup singer on tracks like Stick It in Cider and Monkey Love, and the press fell for it. Church's lawyers forced a retraction and a "sorry" from the GLC, but it was too late, the Chain were now stars. Rollerdisco became their first proper 12" in 2003 and soon the GLC were working on a live show. They opened for the likes of Super Furry Animals, the Streets, and the Darkness, and released another single, Half Man, Half Machine. It did well among the fan base, but it was the infectious and hilarious Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do that put the band on the national U.K. television show #Top of the Pops. The Atlantic label signed them in the U.K. and released Greatest Hits -- a collection of the best numbers from their CD-Rs -- in September of 2004. The album appeared in the U.S. in May of 2005 with a new title, Straight Outta Newport. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
