The UKs premier punk band, CAPDOWN have grown into the most dynamic and exciting new band to come out of the UK underground in years. The band has been lauded by everyone from Kerrang! and NME to The Times and The Guardian. Despite the lack of a new studio album, their live audiences have continued to grow on word of mouth and their UK tour last December was their most successful yet. This album marks the end of the old era, including all the classics from their two studio albums, and welcomes in the new, including one brand new song, as Capdown prepare to enter the studio in April to begin work on their long-awaited third album.
"This record is released on Gravity DIP and, unsurprisingly, was recorded over two nights in Milton Keynes. It covers all the bands 'hits' and shows just how tight they are - tracks like 'Civil Disobedients' and 'Act Your Rage' are excellently executed, while 'Cousin Cleotis' proves the band are tighter than a gnat's arse. By the time you get round to 'Ska Wars', the inevitable set-closer, you're left with the feeling that, despite what I may have felt four years ago, Capdown are a very special band - almost a unique talent. Maybe because we're now spoon-fed so much crap music through the TV and radio I've learned to appreciate them a little more. Either way, this is both a fantastic starting point for those new to the band and unmissable for any fan wanting something new before the next album finally hits the shelves." - Punktastic.com
