Captain Capa are still living in Bad Frankenhausen, where they grew up sheltered, but anything but plain. But the province of Thuringia can't provide endless input for two creative boys in their mid-twenties, which is why Hannes Naumann and Maik Biermann tend to break out as much as possible to catch up on big city lights.
Since 2011 the duo is almost constantly on tour - with rapidly increasing success - even internationally. After the release of the album 'Saved My Life' (Audiolith Records, 2011) Hannes and Maik got shaken up pretty hard: more than 200 live shows, the New Music Award, tv-performances, the Vans Warped Tour through the United States and over 40 festival-shows from Groningen (Eurosonic) to Budapest (Sziget) in 2013.
The new album 'Foxes' comes out October 25th.

Captain Capa

„Berlin Fainting" is the third and last installment of singles taken from Captain Capas album „Saved My Life", for which they got praised and blessed in a rain of confetti. For example at legendary Vans Warped Tour USA, which the boys toured in summer 2012. Unlike their further singles "Faraday" or "Rivals" this one's neither about shredded guitar-riffs nor your emo-make-up-lesson, it's all about synthie-hooks, disco-chords and shedding tears in the big city lights. Call it club-ballad or electropop-sadness if you have to write it down, but it is what it is - a song to break your heart on the dancefloor and to shake up your feet at home in front of your speakers.

If you took your time for an extensive, fullfilled childhood, you're allowed to grow up late in your twenties. Just like Captain Capa, undergoing their musical coming-of-age right now with their new record 'Foxes'.
What used to be an anchor, slowly becomes an albatross around the neck - a world you don't fit in the more you get away from it. And while old friends are busy building houses, getting kids and making money, you keep losing yourself in a back and forth of touring and slacking.
Captain Capa are probably the hardest touring band in Audiolith - and certainly the most-rousing on. The new album 'Foxes' comes out October 25th, the correspondent single reaches your melancholic choreomania since today.
'Foxes' is the foundation Captain Capa planted under their cloud-castle.

Captain Capa - As Far As It Goes

Faraday completes Captain Capas cocktail of guitar-based emo-hymn and uptempo-electro-dancer to it's perfection. A rusty octav-bass, a twisted collegerock-six-string and the oh-so-charming emotional voice of goldenthroat Ashi, chirping lines of broken love and the de-romantization of the starry sky. "And Faraday was right, when he said you need a constant" - hidden messages behind the curtain, and if you stumble upon the nerd-reference to that Island-TV-show: congratulations, you won.

'Rivals' is the upcoming 2nd single from Captain Capa's smashing album 'saved my life'. This song features Deniz Jaspersen of Hamburg-based Indie-Band Herrenmagazin, rioting and reminding us about old college-rock-heroes.

Captain Capa - Rivals (feat. Deniz Jaspersen)

Who we are: we are a record label, like many others are, but we're a whole lot more than that. We are the baby of Lars. Lewerenz, who began to release our music, the music of his friends, his adopted family, in 2003. Which was a good decision, we've celebrated ourselves for this everywhere in the meantime. Cuz Audiolith Youth is everywhere. And we're there with it and down with it. We're coming to your town, and we're listening to what you have to say, and we'll see each other in the streets and we'll be wearing the same t-shirt. Your style is important to us, cause you like our mix. So you become part of it, cause everything fun and authentic goes, cause we're don't dig getting in trouble but rather get on parking lots. On which we rave. We drink our beer. But don't close our heads. We dance and sing songs. Cause we're way hotter than the crap they try to flog at you in Discounterland. Don't listen to them. Loosen up. Blow your mind with good music.
    
Who we are: Wir sind ein Plattenlabel, wie tausend andere auch und wir sind noch mehr als das. Wir sind das Baby von Lars. Lewerenz, der 2003 begann, Musik von uns, seinen Freunden, seiner Wahlfamilie, zu veröffentlichen. Das war gut, denn deswegen feiern wir inzwischen überall. Coz Audiolith Youth is Everywhere. Und die ist mit uns und wir unten mit ihr. Wir kommen auch in deine Stadt, und wir hören dich an, und wir seh'n uns auf der Straße und wir tragen das gleiche Shirt. Dein Style ist uns wichtig, weil du unsern Mix magst. Dann bist du mit dabei, da alles geht, was Spass macht und echt ist, weil wir nicht auf Ärger stehen, sondern auf Parkplätzen. Auf denen wir raven. Wir trinken unser Bier. Aber machen nicht den Kopf zu. Wir tanzen und singen Lieder. Denn wir sind geiler als der Scheiss, den sie dir verkaufen wollen in Discounterland. Hör nicht auf die. Mach dich locker: Blow your Mind with good Music.
