Alright The Captain - Snib

Alright The Captain take a shared love for bands like Hella, Holy Fuck and Primus come out bursting out with a chaotic and frantic sound. Alright the Captain are three badgers from Northern Ireland, Birmingham and Ilkeston who met randomly in the East Midlands, found that they had a shared love for bands like Hella, Holy Fuck,Squarepusher and Primus and decided to make their own loud experimental math-rock together. They have spent their time constantly touring the UK,Ireland and Europe, as well as self-releasing a couple of EP’s before joining Field records, their most recent “123.EP” was picked up and released in Japan by Linus records . The lads have also played with bands such as Mono, Zu, Holy Fuck, Ungdomskulen, ASIWYFA and Maybeshewill and many,many,more. They’ve received various BBC radio plays and recorded acoustic sessions for BBC introducing and Balcony TV as well as featuring in forthcoming independent films by Beat24 and I’m Not from London. DIY ethics are something these boys are used to with Marty and Ash both running their own DIY nights (bUTTONpUSHER and Creative Block(s)) and all the bands artwork/design being done in-house by Todd. They will be touring the UK, Ireland and Europe again relentlessly in 2011. SNIB was recorded and produced by Tim Waterfield in Dub:rek, Derby and at the Field Records in-house Studio in Southampton and will be released on Field Records on 7th Feb 2011. WHAT THE PRESS HAVE SAID : “the varying time patterns and distortions used give the band a wider scope for avoiding repetitive sounds that haunt some bands” – The Silent Ballet / “The instrumental rock stylings of Alright the Captain veer from ‘jazz odyssey’ moodscapes to fist-making stadium-rousers” – CultureNorthernIreland / “Alright The Captain interlace complex and obscure melodies with some extremely sensible song structures” – Drop-D.ie / “GOOD OL TEETH GRINDING, GURNING, HEAD BOPPING NASTYNESS” – Vox /
