  Chapter 14 is an American post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Carlsbad, California, consisting of vocalist Chad Ackerman (Destroy the Runner, As I Lay Dying, Austrian Death Machine), guitarist Tanner Sparks (Destroy the Runner), bassist Edwin Peraza, and Jonathan Knauer on drums.
  
  ## History
  
  Founded in 2003 by Ackerman and Sparks the band also consisted of drummer Mike Catalano (Chiodos, Destroy the Runner), guitarist Noah Slifka (In Fear and Faith) and bassist Eddie Hudson (Paper Mache). The band was unable to put together a full-length album but did complete two full U.S. tours and several demos without a label or financial backing.
  
  After four years trying to land a record deal the band split up in 2007 when Ackerman and Sparks were offered the roles of vocalist and bassist for Destroy the Runner's departing Kyle Setter and Jeremiah Crespo respectively. Noah Slifka went on to join In Fear and Faith the same year while Mike Catalano would join back up with Ackerman and Sparks in Destroy the Runner in 2008. Eddie Hudson moved on to play bass for the band Paper Mache.
  
  On May 16, 2010, Destroy the Runner announced they were going on an "indefinite hiatus." The same day Ackerman announced that he and Sparks would reform Chapter 14, and he invited the other members to rejoin.
  
  Chapter 14 self-released an EP entitled Like Trees in November on November 30, 2010.
