Das Kapitans

From the darkest depths of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, England. Das Kapitans are a combination of influences including Fugazi, The Spits, The Melvins, Sonic Youth, Blur and Joy Division creating a DIY punk, post punk, lo-fi, garage punk, alternative feast.

Formed at the back end of 2020 Das Kapitans set themselves the challenge of writing, recording and releasing 12 albums through 2021…..a challenge that they smashed out the park with a few EPs and stand alone singles added into the mix.

2022 has seen a slightly slower pace but have two full album releases this planned year alongside some A/B Side single releases - Big Muff/MTV were the first releases this year at the start of February. Both receiving extensive radio and podcast play.



As well as the music the band has set up a YouTube channel and Podcast for their Das Kapichat series - talking to people from across the country about the DIY music scene. YouTube its also home to a growing collection of videos for their tracks, again all DIY and ‘homemade’.

Not content with getting their own music out there Das Kapitans have set up a small Bandcamp only record label to work with and promote other artists across the platform. Building a community of like minded artists has been key to the success since the band formed which has led to international radio plays, podcasts, blogs, vlogs and being featured on the local BBC Introducing Show a number of times.

Das Kapitans are out playing live regularly now across the UK - energetic and at times chaotic shows have been witnessed from Norwich to Stockport and most places in between. February 2022 sees them playing with punk legends Snuff
