Is it me or are there fewer bands playing the up-tempo, melodic music that seemed to get crowds all excited and sweaty at The Fest? If that’s so, Captain Asshole are stubbornly holding on to that well-worn style as they continue to write anthemic tunes which create that sense of being in a small, dark dive packed with people raising a pint as they singalong in perfect unison with the band on the floor in front of them. Despite still not being a great fan of the band’s name, I do like the songs quite a lot. They have energy and an innate ability to fill me with a positive feeling with their delivery. This gets my head nodding and feet tapping. –Rich Cocksedge (SBÄM, [email protected], shop.sbam.rocks / Say-10, [email protected], say-10.com)
