0 CAPTAIN HORIZON sign with Rocksector Records for a brand new album in 2014 & the re-release of debut “The Lights Of Distorted Science”

West Midlands based alternative rock band Captain Horizon have joined Rocksector Records for the release of a brand new album in 2014 & also the re-release of debut album “The Lights Of Distorted Science”.

Steve “Whitty” Whittington (lead vocals), Joshua Watson (guitars, backing vocals), James “Mez” Merrix (drums, percussion), Alex Thomson (bass. backing vocals).

The band was formed in 2008 by Josh and Alex with the aim of bringing together the high energy and intricacy of bands like Incubus, Tool and Porcupine Tree with the classic swagger of stadium rockers such as AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd and U2. Whitty and Mez were added and each brought their own special elements of originality, belief and connection with audiences.

Three EPs were released, prior to the debut full length album “The Lights Of Distorted Science” with the infectious and moving “Patch” which was re-worked in 2013 with an inspiring video for the benefit of the Royal British Legion. Of the debut album, Powerplay magazine said “Emotional integrity and intellectual rigour married to songs of almost unbearably moving intensity”.

“The Lights Of Distorted Science” is to be re-released in February 2014, whilst a brand new album to be recorded and released later in 2014.

0 Patch Single and Video Release

Today we’re releasing a new recording and video of our song “Patch” from The Lights of Distorted Science. It was written in tribute to Harry Patch, who until his death in 2009 was the last person to actually experience the horrors of trench warfare in the First World War. Now that he’s gone it’s important that we make the effort to remember, because we can’t let those in power make the same mistakes again.

All the proceeds from the single will be donated to the Royal British Legion.

Download the single from the Captain Horizon Store.
