CAPTAIN, YOUR SHIP IS SINKING was founded in 2007 by five friends with a shared passion for atmospheric, intense and loud music. After half a year of writing songs we played our first shows and a bit later we recorded four songs that appear on our self-released demo. You can listen to our demo on this page, or download it here .
We’re currently working on new material and playing a show every now and then. If you want us to play at your show, feel free to send us a message. We have shared stages with bands like Aussitot mort, Comadre, Grinding halt, Trainwreck, Akimbo, Amalthea, Only for the sake of aching and lots of other cool bands.
Some thoughts about our band:“First up is Captain, your ship is sinking with their Envy meets Neil Perry meets Yage style. Or: melody, desperation and screams.†– Mark, Vera downstage“I’m pretty impressed by this demo, and I am very curious to see how these gentlemen will progress in the future. This is another interesting band joining the Dutch scene.†- Armand, Metalfan.nl“This five-piece has been around since last year and shows us how eclectic postcore is supposed to sound. Expect a lot of bombast, soundscapes, vocal eruptions and the ability to get you to listen.†- Rene Vanes, Aardschok magazine"Why does this band NOT have more listeners???" - Grimkvnt on last.fm
This is what our demo looks like. Completely handmade. A 180gr paper cover with a nice lyric-sheet on 120gr paper and the four songs in our player on a blank cd-r. Available until we feel like not making any more copies . They're €6 pp or you can pick one up at a show for €5. Please send us a message if you want one of your own!
