Hailing from Nottingham, UK and emerging from the same music scene that recently spawned Jake Bugg, Swimming and Dog is Dead. Captain Dangerous released Andy Wright (We Show Up On Radar) produced opus ‘The Empire Never Ended’ on 14th January 2013 and are set to once again tour the album and the new forthcoming singles from the record in summer 2013.
 
Part wonky-pop, part heartbreaking storytelling; the record takes shades of Pavement, Blur, and Darren Hayman, and glues them together with bombastic orchestral accompaniments in an infectious and dynamic debut album. 
 
Having toured throughout the past two years and most recently accompanied by a 20 piece orchestra, the band have built a reputation as a thrilling live proposition which has seen them headline London's Union Chapel and sell out the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. 
 
The band’s single ‘Everything Beautiful Reminds Me Of You’ has enjoyed regular rotation on national television, featuring on Channel 4’s comedy show Fresh Meat, and Grey’s Anatomy, and was used extensively on ITV’s promotional advertisements for their coverage of Brazil’s football friendlies in 2012.  
 
Consisting of Adam Clarkson (guitar, ukulele, vocals) Miles Clark (guitar, trumpet, melodica, accordion, violin, vocals) bassist Mark Houlgate, drummer and percussionist Jamie Elliott, and jazz/classical violinist Rob Rosa; the band describe themselves first and foremost as a "pop band".

03 The Terrorist (Niles Dark Remix)

1/ The trouble with a Wednesday it's keeps my heart in traction 
I know I should’ve acted smoother 
I was admiring the cut of her threads it was easy to do so. 
So I feigned dissatisfaction my way of showing affection 
And I regret I did it that way. 
She walked out of the room with a grumble like complexion 
My faux discontented sentiment was debris. 

Chorus 
…and If you don't mind I will keep you for myself x 3 
Giddy giddy giddy up go at least I’ve got my heart is beating again. 

2/So later on that evening I approached and made a signal 
The moves of drunk young man 
The thought was in the drink purchased quickly it seemed to do the trick shot and she downed it. 
So with dignity restored I resigned myself to failure with a final smoke I left for the evening but the work was in the message and it's not my style to hang around 

3/ when you’re gone! I will try! To be better in my own way 
There was something in the weather that made her feel so Horney 
Contrary to texts I knew that my efforts were futile. 
Here I am presenting on my own yet again and my efforts between 
The sheets were nothing spectacular 
Things that seemed tangible now seem like globules of drivel
