From Buenos Aires Argentina vÃa the Basque Country to the world,
raw guitars, sonic sounds & noise straight to your heart & bones.
Formed in 1997 to produce hallucination & enlightment, these live sexy animals on stage, hailing from the streets of South America mix their raw noise and sonic sounds in a hyper exciting live act.
Capsula are a band from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their name is the spanish word for Capsule and derives from the David Bowie song Space Oddity

In 2008 they have played at SXSW.
They recorded their first european release (and their fourth album), titled Songs & Circuits, in 2007 with Madrid-based indie label Discos Liliput.

Gerald de Oliveira, A DECOUVRIR ABSOLUMENT (FRANCE)
"Martin of Capsula will play the cords of his guitar against the amplifier, then the foot of microphone before finishing them with the teeth !!!
MISS SHIRLEY (Paris)
"* * * * Altamente Recomendable"
Dominik Gelada, MAU MAU BARCELONA
"Uno no puedo sino rendirse al derroche de magnetismo de este trío porteño-bilbaíno, aplaudir a rabiar al acabado de las once canciones de este su debut y enamorarse de ellos."-
Alvaro Fierro, MONDOSONORO
"Cuando un disco "largo" se hace corto, es que has tropezado con algo bueno, y el de Capsula lo es. Rolling Stones, T-Rex, Stooges, Television, Johnny Thunders todo enmarcado de lujo por tres musicos de raza que saben exprimir al limite sus recursos y dejarte con la palabra en la boca. La palabra es "impresionante".
BEASTORAMA (Espana)
" .. Electrizante, sugerente y sorprendentes, ya que desde ritmos del punk mas clasico se lanzan al pop y a la psicodelia cruzada de trallazos guitarreros... Un trabajo en el que nos hacen viajar por un mundo paralelo, alejado de los convencionalismos al uso della industria."
J. E. Gomez INDYROCK (Spain)
"* * * * (4 estrellas) Capsula ha logrado que se hable (mucho y bien) de su primera referencia en todos los medios musicales, puesto que posee temas que por su calidad, sobrepasan las composiciones de grupos ya establecidos"
Carlos Ciurana CAJA DE RITMOS (Spain)
" Venenoso artefacto sonico pergenado por este trio, que se sumerge sin pudor alguno en el powerpop, punk, noise, post rock y hasta psicodelia ...Siguen el camino que abrieron Primal Scream con la nauralidad del que ha crecido con ese discurso, lo que les faculta para transmitir una absoluta naturalidad en el mismo. " -
FESTIVALES DE ROCK
"Capsula, c est l energie punk dans un corpus pop-rock, avec des analyses sanguines qui revelent un abus de Pj Harvey et de Sonic Youth dans le jeu explosif. Comme une ejaculation rapide sur le facies d une jeune innocente..." -
Bester Langs, GONZAI (France)
