"In many respects, Westfield's The Capps play in very familiar territory. Heavy slabs of power-chord guitar drive their sound, and the lead vocals land exactly in the zone of much modern day post-punk punk a la Green Day or Rancid. The band's tunes provide short and furious bursts of energy peppered with lots of pick-slide pyrotechnics, rhythmic change-ups and shout-along choruses. The Capps are aided by a sense of melody that's often adventurous, though in the end whether you'll dig these fellows comes down to whether you like your punk the way they play it: straight-up." —James Heflin (Valley Advocate)
The Capps
"The Harder I Try" Live at the Mass Tattoo Fest Afterparty (thanks Tricky!)
We started this band because we all love playing music and the idea of helping in the fight to bring back the punk scene in the Western Mass area sounded pretty damn good to us. We're not out to be rockstars and tour the world. We're a bunch of regular dudes who got together and figured out how to turn out some solid tunes.
Since we started out, we have been getting a huge amount of support and we would like to thank all the great bands we've gotten to share the stage with and each and every person that has come out to our shows, danced, drank with us, shared the fun and told their friends!!! THANK YOU!!!
The Capps use and abuse, but unfortunately are not endorsed by: Gretsch Guitars, Marshall Amplification, Fender Basses and Amplification, Ludwig drums, Epiphone guitars, Hartke Bass Amplification, Dunlop Tortex picks, whatever sticks Eric decides to buy before shows, and whatever booze we can get our hands on.
NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!! Our full length CD "Broken Hands / Broken Hearts" on Ghost Dog Records, is AVAILABLE NOW!!!!!!!!!
