What their label says...

CAPDOWN SOMERSAULTED BACK INTO BLIGHTY'S RECORD MARKETPLACE IN EARLY 2007 WITH THEIR FIRST ALBUM RELEASE FOR MANY LIGHT YEARS, ‘WIND-UP TOYS’. THE SINGLES 'KEEPING UP APPEARANCES' AND 'SURVIVING THE DEATH OF A GENRE' ROCKED SEVERAL CASBAHS, VARIOUS DATES ON THEIR FEBRUARY UK TOUR WERE UPGRADED AND 'WIND-UP TOYS' ITSELF CAPTURED A NEWLY MUSCULAR AND MODERNISED BAND ON THE CUSP OF AN ELEVATION UP THROUGH THE ROCK RANKS. ALAS, AWAY FROM THE DEVOTED FANBASE AND THE EVER PRESENT ENTHUSIASTS AT PRESS AND RADIO THE CLOSEKNIT LINE-UP OF JAKE (VOX / SAX), BOOB (BASS), KEITH (GUITAR / VOX) AND TIM (DRUMS) (NOW JOINED BY NEWCOMER EDDIE (KEYBOARDS / SAMPLES)) FOUND THEMSELVES CONFRONTED BY APATHY FROM AN INDUSTRY TOO BUSY CHASING DOWN THE LATEST DOLLAR TO NOTICE.

** THE ANNUAL TRADITION OF RAMMING OUT THE LOCK-UP TENT AT THE READING FESTIVAL LAST MONTH WAS A BITTERSWEET EVENT - CAPDOWN HAD ALREADY DECIDED TO END IT BY THEN. BUT SOMEHOW IT IS FITTING THAT THE BAND ARE EMBARKING UPON A FAREWELL TOUR, GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF SKANKING GLORY AND GIVING PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN TOUCHED IN SOME RIGHTEOUS OR INDEED DOWNRIGHT FUN WAY BY A BUNCH OF BLOKES FROM THE HOME COUNTIES WHO DARED TO STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN ONE LAST CHANCE TO KICK OUT THE SAX-BLASTED JAMS. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS...
