Land Captains:
Inciting mutiny with their heavy, funky, 'anar-chic' groove rock
After 2 thunderous EPs, Planet Rock's ‘track of the week’, and a show-stealing victory in the Underdog BOTB at Thekla, Land Captains recently welcomed new low-end sister Tiggy to the band and are locked away finishing their debut album.
With the release of the earworm 1st single imminent, 2024 is set to be the year Land Captains take over...
It's time for anger with purpose, and humour without hatred; It's time for serious songwriting and passionate storytelling, all wrapped up in the primal power of live performance.
It's time to join the crew.
WHO WE ARE
Music opens us up to each other; we find ourselves at our most vulnerable point, at the rawest edge and open to danger.
Connection, through creativity, is how LAND CAPTAINS explore storytelling. It is that opportunity to feel less alone; to feel that collective confidence and make sense of the world, not only for the band but for the listener. Songs come from the depths of life, embracing both ANGER WITH PURPOSE and HUMOUR WITHOUT HATRED. When we allow ourselves to be open – to have that moment of certainty knowing that this is who we are – we can have an honest conversation about our stories, challenge ourselves, and CELEBRATE OUR CONNECTION TO EACH OTHER.
Music is EMOTION.
Music is CONNECTION.
Music is POWER.
LAND CAPTAINS, after their previously successful release Delta, took this ethos of open and emotive community to a new level with their follow-up EP HALF MEASURES, released in April 2022.
“Music is where we can own our emotional freedom and fearlessly explore dark and distant corners, whether that’s with humour or in observation. Half Measures explores a raft of ideas and stories, some funny and some from dark places, we’re really excited for people to hear it!”
Every song on the EP tells a different story, but there is a common commentary on human connection; relatable and in relation to situations that we have all gone through at some point in our lives. This is EMOTION, CONNECTION and POWER.
“This is blood, sweat and tears - and not only in the traditional sense. We each faced tough challenges during the pandemic, as we all did around the world at that time, but ultimately we came together and connected through this profoundly personal process.”
LAND CAPTAINS are pleased to announce the title to their upcoming single 'Turn It Up' and will shortly be releasing tickets to the launch party in December 2023.
In the spirit of connection, something central to the values of LAND CAPTAINS, this band is and will always be about the energy of live performance and sharing the stage with their audience. These songs have been written to be experienced live; words, music and raw energy combined.
“This isn’t a them and us, this is just US."
