YOU COULD BE MY - OUT NOW!!!

About Me


CAPTAIN DANGEROUS "are an explosive indie four-piece from Nottingham with outrageously catchy melodies and based around the classic English story telling with a frothy melange of quirk-pop influences...Listen and you'll hear, Pavement, the Cure and The Violent Femmes. Also plenty of Strokesy grindings and a pop harmonic approach recalling early Teenage Fanclub and The Wedding Present via Jarvis for loucheness & fantastic songs too." - Bugbear Bookings (Dublin Castle, Hope & Anchor)
Debut single ‘You Could Be My’, was released through Synchronicity Records and is available from all major digital distributors.

Captain Dangerous have been touring the country for the last year and half supporting the likes of:
The Holloways

The Hoosiers
Roll Deep
The Rumble Strips
