✪ LAND CAPTAINS
Riotous Groove-Rock · fb.com/LandCaptainsBand
“Bristol-based Land Captains have been rapidly building a reputation as a formidable live act, on a quest to fuse heavy riffs and funky beats; serious songwriting with a touch of bombast and a healthy dose of silliness. Devil horns or dancing shoes; swaying hips or headbanging blues? It's like a prog-punk cabaret in here.”
