What The Press Is Saying About Capital:

"As grandiose as The Killers, the suave 'This Gun' and punky 'King Of England' spit hummable fire, while closer '4am' elegantly distils everything that already passed."
JOHN AIZLEWOOD, Q MAGAZINE (****)

"Richly layered both musically and lyrically, songs spin between vitriolic anger, witty self-deprecation and arch political condemnation. Like Kerouac and Wylie, T-T understands what is subversive about love. We should cherish such poets."
ALISTAIR FITCHETT, PLAN B MAGAZINE

"Extraordinary. A terrifying and thrilling experience... as a theme, violence is less an undercurrent and more a seething torrent. Capital's London pulsates with unease."
JAMES WALSH, MORNING STAR

"Another winner. One of the finest and most consistent songwriters this country has seen this century."
THISISMUSIC.COM

Great to see you again last night. I really enjoyed the evening, and thanks for the chat and the glow stick. It's rapidly turning into just a 'stick' but it was fun whilst it lasted. See you next at Lexapalooza.

Hi Chris,

Will be playing one of your songs from the Live Tonight album on my radio show tonight between 9 and 10.30pm. Not sure which one yet though!
Tis livewire1350.com (though you may want to zone out whilst the rest of the show is on if you do manage to listen as we tend to talk an awful lot of crap...)

It was a pleasure to meet you and Rifa on Friday and I loved your set...although I did have tears in my eyes with the hedgehog song...so it was a little upsetting. But that's good. Looking forward to seeing you again soon hopefully. Rifa said next time we're in Brighton we can pop round for a cuppa. We fully intend on taking this offer up! Rosie XX
