Captain Sensible needs no introduction.
Along with The
Damned,
where he continues to play guitar and bass to this day, he is one of the originators
of what we now call “Punk Rock”. The Damned released their first record even
before the Sex Pistols did. Whereas Dave Vanian was the dark, gothic influenced
member of the band, Captain Sensible was the nutty one that wore the colorful
clothing and pogoed around on the stage with his weird antics. His many solo
records (on various labels) followed in that vein, each more weirder and wacky
than the last. Of course, he ended up with a European hit back a few years ago
in his hugely popular song “WOT”. Constantly on tour, don’t miss him if he is
in your area soon. Meanwhile, check out these great MT releases from the Captain
and go pogo your brains out!
Pop-punk at its best, as
only the captain himself can deliver. Twelve tracks in all (the twelfth of which
is a bonus track of “WOT”, a live version available only on our release), this
is just one ear-worm after another, all done in the weirdo-nutty lyrical style
that the Captain is known for. But it is not all just pop, as the punk side
of the Captain shows through on tracks that still deliver their fair amount
of guitar noise, perfect for your next pogo party. Standout tracks include the
first “While Wrecking The Car” and “The Stately Homes Of England”. A limited
edition of 300 copies were made that included fake cow-fur covers!
