Exploiting an
anti capitalist political inclination with a sonority that moves personalities
cames to the attention of us all the band Capdown.
Directly
from Milton Keynes, England, where the band is settled, Capdown have been
developing since 2000 a strong independent series of releases as well as a huge
amount of musical shows. Touring with names such as Less than Jake, Pennywise,
Lagwagon and Bad Religion, has given them a great portion of experience that
mixed with their jovial energy and political ideas
Capdown
released their first album in 2000, called Civil
Disobedients, and later on 2001 their released their second and most played
live album, Pound for the Sound. Last
but by no means least their final album, Wind
Up Toys, came on in 2007 to get positive reviews from a series of wide
spread musical sources.
Featuring
strong political lyrics and mixing the ska sound with punk rock and hardcore
dub, they have created a name for themselves. They needed to get free and they realized
that in their mind was the key, their key. So they exploited their freely and
libertine thoughts to build up a message and present it in a musical way that best
fits the message by its though and strong sound power.
The band
has now split up, but has been reforming to play some live festivals in the
years since disband. However the band members have been engaging in some
alternative projects, like the Macalites or This Contrast Kills.
