The Caps

At first my initial impression of “Make a Wish” by local quintet the Caps! seemed to differ with lead vocalist Chris Worth’s take on the track. According to Worth, “It sounds like a song that could be played by one of those mechanical robot animal bands at Chuck E. Cheese. Only the robots are falling apart as they’re playing.” Hmmm… that’s a lot more complex than the country-tinged jaunt I pegged the two minute track as, but it still totally fits. I mean, he did write the song. Worth continues, saying, “maybe it’s the type of song Buck Owens would have written in kindergarten.” The easy going ditty is hallmarked by boy-girl vocals from Worth and fellow bandmate Jessica Bonin and a good measure of honky tonk guitars that make the song ideal karaoke fodder if it misses the Chuck E. Cheese stage. - Willamette Week
