Somehow this band had escaped my attention but suddenly they were all over the music press this week so i thought I would check them out...
There are people in the world who will tell you Captain are wimpy powder puff schmindie types and not worth a second of your time. These people are clearly idiots... Captain, you see, peddle pop that recalls the gloriously melodic heydays of Prefab Sprout and could easily reduce the hardest of hearts to puddles of mush with the mere flutter of single Glorious' chorus. They are like a consistently ace Aussie indie rock troupe The Go-Betweens if a major label had thrown loads of money at them. Glorious, by right, should be number one forever. If the lead singer would only take of his rubbish Orson hat, i'd henna his name on my heart forever. Or until it washed off...
