0 I Am Giant + Captain Horizon + Twisted Species + Third Angle Projection @ The Road House Birmingham 12th September 2012 – The Midlands Rocks

Sometimes you see a band (sometimes several times!) and you just have to wonder how they are not so much more successful than they are. captainHorizon are one such band. Steve ‘Whitty’ Whittington – as well as having a fine voice – is a born entertainer. Whether he’s leaping and dancing about the stage, on the floor amongst the punters, or hanging from the gantry by his fingertips, he pours every ounce of his soul into every song. Bassist Alex Thompson shares Whittys wanderlust, making regular forays around the room leaving guitarist Josh Watson to hold the fort. captainHorizon defy pigeon-holing; all you need to know is that if you like it hard, heavy, melodic, and delivered with passion and genuine belief, look no further.

0 New Disorder Music Festival @ MFN, Shipley – Saturday 8th September 2012 – The Midlands Rocks

I’ve lost count the amount of times people have said to me “why arn’t these guys signed?” or “these guys should be huge”, I’m referring of course to the band that kicked off the second half, Captain Horizon. Unique, talented, entertaining, spell binding are all words that are used to describe the Birmingham based outfit. A blend of rock, indie, prog all go into the mix with these guys and you end up with powerful emotive songs like Patch and Torn Up My World, what a way to kick off part 2!

Captain Horizon, as RTM has said before, are pound for pound, perhaps the best unsigned band in Brum. Certainly live shows such as this seem to be getting better and better for the boys.

Best described, if you will, as a type of alt-rock Pink Floyd, they have taken to weaving giant songs full of hooks and choruses to tempt us all. Previous single “Angels and Vampires” was a giant leap forward and is played here along with “Here I Stand.” All of which bodes well for the release of their new album “The Lights Of Distorted Science” which is out in December.
