Capture the Flag

The name Capture The Flag refers to one of following 4 artists:

1. UK ska/punk/hardcore band from Leicester (http://www.myspace.com/capturetheflaguk). Capture the Flag consists of dual vocalists Matt Horton (also playing trombone) and Nik Young (also playing trumpet), guitarist Pascal "Biz" Mowla (also playing saxaphone very occasionally), bassist Kyle Palmer and drummer Adam Horton (Matts brother). They formed at the beginning of 2008, and have had considerable success since, releasing one e.p in March, called "Conflicts", gigs with Bad Manners, Sixpointfive, Exit Avenue, Brassphemy and Mustard Plug, playing at the Glastonbudget festival and being featured on numerous radio stations, including myspace radio hosted by Alex Zane. They quickly became one of the areas best loved bands, and, despite a short "hiatus" during May/June, they are still going strong and have an album aticipated for release at the beginning of 2009, aswell as a possible Easter tour with UK ska behemoths Brassphemy.

2. Hailing from Flat Rock, Michigan where nothing exciting ever happens, three young men started on a journey to make music to melt faces. It was a long and bumpy road that started off as various ska bands playing together. Through these former bands, Jeff Tuttle, Steve Kay and Ryan King all met and continued to talk about doing something by mixing punk sounds of the Descendents with metal licks and riffs from bands like Van Halen. Their journey would not last very long though as disputes between the direction of the band would put them on hiatus, which as we know today, means they broke up but could not cope with it. They shared the stage with The Suicide Machines, Alkaline Trio, Saves The Day, Mustard Plug and many other well known national acts, but they also brought the kids from a little area known as Downriver, Michigan together.

3. An electronic indie group hailing from Minnesota, originally started as a solo side project, Capture the Flag became a duo by incorporating vocals and acoustic guitar into their live performances.

4. Indie rock band from Madrid.
A random advert posted by Marcus on the internet in the closing months of 2006 solicits the response of 3 musicians Pete, Gav and Manu who are interested in forming a band which will bring something new to the Madrid music scene...all four members are new to the city and what starts as a good excuse to have a jam and a few beers soon turns into something serious...after a few months of recording in Gav´s bedroom we decide to release an EP and do numerous gigs around Madrid gaining exposure on Spanish Radio and music magazines. After changing drummers a couple of times Marcus randomly stumbles across Arnau handing out some flyers, a drummer, who after spending years in the Barcelona music scene is new to Madrid and in search of a new band. We ask him to join. Capture The flag are preparing their first album release and tour for february/march 2008
