Capulet

Capulet lull their listeners into a false sense of security from the beginning. Long passages of minimal sound and barely detectable intent often precede explosive changes in timing and atmosphere; playful melodies and unpredictable structures allied to sporadic singing.

The band formed in 2004, catalyzed by the split of two other bands, Lets Not Lose Mars To The Commies and Rebekah. In their new formation Steve Hodson, Adam Crosby, Adam Hartley and Gareth Canny set about constructing early material. More traditional in scope at first, sticking with verse/chorus/verse, the band soon progressed to more ambitious structures, and the vocals began to recede. A string of support slots with bands such as Biffy Clyro, Mono, Youthmovies and Jeniferever introduced them to the world.

Capulet self-released two EP’s, Say What You See (2004) and No Time Spoke The Clocks (2005), before consolidating their work with the Motive Sounds LP ‘The World Is A Tragic Place, But There Is Grace All Around Us, So Attend To The Grace’. They have had radio play on Huw Stevens Radio One show, and were mentioned in a recent Lamaq feature on the city. The band are about to embark on their second UK tour and are writing new material.
