Sounds Like:"Excellent fret work between the two intensive care guitars working against each other,It was almost hypnotic stuff, I love bands that dig their own music and this band are fucking conceited!"
"From a relaxation tape to a crazed rabid chimp in a cage, this is schizophrenia by guitar"
-Neil Crud, BBC Radio Wales

"Similarities to bands like the Deftones and Brian Eno's soundscapes give an indication of what to expect, but the intelligent arrangements have to be heard to fully appreciate the unquestionable skill...Capguns' Day EP plays like an internal soundtrack rather than a run of the mill rock offering; throwing the listener down random musical avenues of varying force and texture."
-David Waddington, North Wales Pioneer

"Their debut EP runs thirty minutes in length while containing only four tracks, comprised of titles such as "Drawn to the Horizon" and "Like Waves." However, the music on Day is anything but cliche, melding equal parts post-rock and scream-infused metal in presenting an excellent self-introduction."
-Neo-Surrealist Movement Album of the Week, www.neosurrealist.blogspot.com

"The most stunning band we've heard in ages...taking inspiration from the sheer drama of the North Wales coast."
-Bethan Elfyn, BBC Radio 1

"Something very special going on here."
-Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1

"This self-released effort is like a breath of fresh air and a real surprise if you're expecting yet another run-of-the-mill rock act. Haunting guitar soundscapes blend effortlessly with a seriously in-yer-face wall of psychedelic chaos and manic vocals. The overall sound is reminiscent of many but sounding like none. On the strength of Day Capguns are a totally original band and well worthy of a much larger audience."
-Gary Cut, The Fly Magazine

"Significant to the profound originality of the piece is the level of musicianship, and outside the envelope creativity..."Day" is the feeling of walking in fresh snow with the warm sun on your face, "Day" is meeting old mates you've not seen in ages and reliving the crazy times, and "Day" is knowing there's no going back."
-Michael Roberts, Tudno FM

"One of my favorite things I've heard all year long."
-Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

"What can we say - colossal - is probably the best way to start. Capguns craft out epic wide screen montages - sometimes brutal, sometimes lilting and often apocalyptic, their sound a force of nature."
-Mark Barton, losingtoday.com

"Challenging the conventions of formal song structure, Capguns not only bend the boundaries of how to write music, they blow them apart. No mere radio fodder, every track is carefully sculpted, affirming their place as one of the most exciting bands currently operating in North Wales. Confidently balancing gentle pulses with emotive force, Capguns latest opus [Night] can best be defined as simply beautiful."
-David Waddington, North Wales Pioneer
