Pretty big massive 4/5 thumbs up from MusicOMH. Go Captains go!
Kill The Captains // Muso's Guide Review →
"…this is the sound of a young band fully realising their potential and at the same time discovering that achievement has replenished their reserves. They’ll be sounding mean for a long time to come yet."
Awesome write-up from Muso’s Guide. Sweet.
Kill The Captains // Vanguard-Online Review →
“A quirky and accomplished band, they seem to be locked into unusual flavours and have a fullness of ideas that suggests long hours playing and listening carefully. Capable of psychedelic wig-outs, Kill The Captains keep it tight but give themselves enough space to show off quite a bit. This band deserves your adoration”
Super props from Vanguard-Online.
Kill The Captains // Now Then Magazine Review →
"Under that shiny and fluffy pop sheep skin, a mean wolf that’s been sniffing glue and eating nutmeg seeds by the dozen awaits."
Excellent review of the new Kill The Captains album in Now Then Magazine.
Kill The Captains // The Skinny Review →
Pleasingly difficult to pin down, Kill the Captains second album Sounds Mean skips around pigeonholes dextrously and with a discernible sense of humour. With darting melodies, wonky guitar lines and vocalist Leon Carter’s upfront croon, the Sheffield quartet veer from propulsive dance-punk (Disco Nazi) to chugging, rough-edged indie-rock (The Trial) to straight-up hushed balladry (The Taking Of), each appealing in its own way, and together giving a good account of the bands diverse interests.
Nice words from The Skinny.

Kill The Captains // Pre-order New Album + Free Download Single
Armellodie Records is proud to present Sounds Mean, the second full-length album from Sheffield’s best kept secret, Kill The Captains .
Leon Carter (Vocals, Guitar), Ric Booth (Guitar, Vocals), Giles Robinson (Bass) and Paul Collins (Drums) are the honourable Captains. Sounds Mean sees the band ramp up their brand of new-wave pop and suspense-filled rock’n’roll with shout-along choruses, fizzing dual-guitars and propulsive rhythmic skulduggery.
Following on from 2010’s well received debut (Fun Anxiety), on Sounds Mean the band take to exploring such themes as dance floor puppet masters, sado-masochistic rumpy pumpy, corporate greed and - shrouded in geo-political metaphor – love.
The album is released on Monday 12th August on 180 gram Vinyl (including CD), you can Pre-order that little beauty right HERE.
If you need a little more enticing then you can grab the single, ‘Disco Nazi’ for absolutely nowt right HERE and why not watch the accompanying VIDEO too.
Mutiny!
A short promotional film for the song ‘Disco Nazi’ by popular Sheffield beat combo Kill The Captains.
Sometimes whatever you do is never quite enough to satisfy the dance floor puppet masters, with their dance-floor dictatorships, sending out dictats to a room full of bodies who would happily dance without the extra encouragement. As the beats pump and the grooves swell, the tail grows like a Nokia snake chomping an unending supply of pixels.
You can download the song for free right HERE.
Gastric Band // Huw Stephens Show, 13.06.2013 →
It would appear the most un-radio-friendly thing we’ve ever released is holding it’s own on the blower.
Gastric Band's 'It's Good But It's Not Right' is spun on by Huw Stephens on his radio 1 show this week. You can listen again on the iPlayer so you can. Gastric sounds at about 1:34:00.
Peachy.

Friends, it’s been too long.
But expect a bit more posting from now on.
The current state of The Scottish Enlightenment is this: we are three - Dave Guitar has taken a break to make sure his children dont end up delinquent. His strong moral guidance will get the job done. But we three remaining…
Gastric Band // Tom Robinson Show, 08/06/2013 →
The delectable Tom Robinson played Gastric Band's 'It's Good but It's Not Right' on his BBC Radio 6 Music show last night. Check it out HERE (Gastric Band on at 2:21:30).
He also played Cake’s ‘The Distance’ earlier in the show. What great taste that man has.
