 "Captain
of Industry has crafted the best debut rock album to come out of Dayton
in years, and it's one of my favorite 2003 releases in any genre."
- Don Thrasher (Formerly of Guided By Voices and Swearing at Motorists).
Instrumentation:
Nathan Peters - Vocals, Rhodes John Lakes
- Drums, Ian Sperry - Bass, Kevin Oldfield
- Guitar.
A bold attempt to alter indie rock sensiblity, this band is as stylistically-diverse
as you'll find and absolutely brilliant. Captain of Industry was formed
in 2002 by vocalist / keyboardist Nathan Peters, guitarist Kevin Oldfield,
bassist Ian Sperry and drummer John Lakes in the often overlooked indie
rock mecca, Dayton, Ohio. The group began with no pretense other than
a commitment to musical expression in all its forms. Captain of Industry
had created their own unique sound and style, combining the diverse talents
and tastes of each member. In 2004, Captain has been hard at work building
a solid fan base throughout the Midwest and East Coast, getting great
radio airplay, and playing with such acts as Enon, The Slackers, members
of Cursive and Bright Eyes, Superdrag and Howlin’ Maggie. The band
is also preparing to release the music video for the song “Under
My Belt” which is directed by The WB’s Michael Yates, and
it will become the centerpiece of a multimedia press kit featuring studio
and live footage, behind the scenes at the video shoot, and of course
lots of music and info about the band. The video is already finished,
and we expect our DVD to be completed in the next two months. Captain
of Industry's debut CD is gaining momentum as well with radio support
from Team Clermont, digital distribution by The Orchard, online physical
sales through teamevilrecords.com and CD Baby, and tours and promotion
from Team Evil Records and Do Tell Records. Catch Captain of Industry
this fall as they tour the Midwest and East Coast, including The Slackers
CD release party this fall at NYC's own B.B. King's.
