Biography
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.

REVIEWS

(((The future of rock!)))
author: Jacoby J.
From the start of the first song this band follows their own style of sound. A beautiful intricate guitar line and experimental beats coincide to form an organic stream that flows from lullaby to collision. This formula continues through the rest of the disc, yet somehow every song remains distinct from the other taking the listener on a journey of emotions and visuals. Stand out tracks such as Under My Belt bring the quirky, raw energy reminiscent of the Rolling Stones yet with an underlying sense of humor, whereas Good Side Son has a mellow, liquid quality to it that flows along and seeps into your psyche like a classic Beatles song. This album is all over the spectrum - from Radiohead to Ima Robot. Still Captain of Industry have created a sound all their own, and like a candy coated pill, it is easily digested and leaves you with a an everlasting feeling of euphoria!
