"An intriguing array of influences on this local quintet's CD. The Police is an obvious one, but so are Rush-like prog flourishes and a very post-punk Euro sound and ska. Tight, pro and extremely listenable . Nice video, too." - Stuart Derdeyn
The band dares you to look and listen a little closer. passion for exploring new combinations and permutations.
The new CD will entertain the casual listener but offers much more for those willing to dig a little deeper into its grooves. - Cal Koat
“This fresh new band of fellows creates energetic pop music with a funky
rock’n’roll flare. If the critics are right – you won’t want to miss their live show.” - CBC Radio 3
“An addictive and encouraging selection of songs that leaves you
feeling highly optimistic long after the CD is over.” - YouThink Magazine
“Catchy and uplifting, full of energy, enthusiasm and passion”. - The Ubyssey Magazine
Diverse band commands attention with their ska-flavoured reggae rock.
Dno’t Say It Mihgt Maen Somehitng (yes, that’s the correct spelling!) is a perfect blend of reggae, ska and old-school rock. Although a few of the band’s songs are a bit too similar to one another, preventing a full five-star review, the fresh and optimistic feel of the CD makes up for that minute downfall. Adding to the attention-grabbing sound and addictive energy is an inspirational message within each set of lyrics, connecting listeners emotionally to the band and its music.
Lauren’s fave track: A Season For Her
- Lauren Courtenay
Aside from deliberately misspelling their entire lyric book, there's nothing I dislike about Capade's Dno't Say It Mihgt Maen Somehitng. This record is everything a sophomore album should be; it's a much more developed effort stylistically and construction-wise than their debut, Wake Me Up. Tracks like "It's About Time" and "Save My Love" highlight the smooth grooves of their reggae rock'n'roll, taking the listener down an uplifting journey through love and life set to a soundtrack of rolling rhythms and indie flare that should appeal to fans of Bedouin Soundclash and Talking Heads. "Break the Habit" is the most developed, in terms of the indie sound. The guitars and drums are much more intense, but Nikola Tucakov's vocals remain focused and fluid. "A Season For Her" shows the band's ability to write soft ballads, losing the reggae while remaining consistent with their smooth indie sound. This is an extremely strong release that will earn them the love they deserve. - Sheena Lyonnais
