Captain Black No Stars

Captain Black No Stars play dirty reggae, inspired by both the Trojan and two-tone sounds and also UK Punk, Hip Hop, and AGIT PROP.In A Year we have played to lots of nice people, usually for free and have recorded our first EP 'PUBLIC SPACE' which is released by Do The Dog Music on a Split album entitled "Boss Sounds of the Boom and Bust".We dont usually want money for gigs but have to cover the costs of living in a fucked up world - petrol etc and as such will try our hardest to make gigs and stuff either free or donation based. Here's a cool review from US Ska Zine http://duffguidetoska.blogspot.com "With a singer that sounds like Mick Jones, Captain Black No Stars' style of punky dirty reggae reminds one a bit of The Clash's excellent forays into Jamaican music on London Calling and Sandinista. The great "Rivers of Blood," which versions Toots and the Maytal's "54-46 (Was My Number)," isn't as apocalyptic as its title suggests--it's about the boneheaded lawlessness in the singer's neighborhood (and government's inability to do anything about it) keeping him housebound--literally locked in like a prisoner, get it? "The Lighter Song" laments the fact that people aren't really free to do what they want in public, including smoke, drink, and enjoy a joint. "As Zac Says" is a cool, mid-tempo skank that seems to be warning everyone to be skeptical and aware of the hidden agendas behind the carefully controlled images and messages that pour out of our televisions and movie screens daily (can someone please post this band's lyrics on the net--I can't make all of their words out and think they have loads of relevant things to say). "Dub MPLA (Revolution Party)" is stellar cover of Tapper Zukie's classic track." MyGen Profile Generator
