Das Kapitans Release New Double A Side Single “Big Muff / MTV”

From the darkest depths of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, England come Das Kapitans who draw influence from Fugazi, The Spits, The Melvins, Sonic Youth, Blur and Joy Division. Formed at the back end of 2020 Das Kapitans set themselves the challenge of writing, recording and releasing twelve, yes 12, albums through 2021, a challenge that they surpassed as they also released a few EPs and stand alone singles in addition to a dozen full lengths. 2022 has seen a slightly slower pace, but the band already have two full album releases planned for this year alongside some single releases, the first of which was Big Muff / MTV that was released at the start of February.

As well as the music the band has set up a YouTube channel and Podcast for their Das Kapichat series, talking to people from across the country about the DIY music scene. YouTube is also home to a growing collection of videos for their tracks, again all DIY and ‘homemade’. Not content with getting their own music out there Das Kapitans have set up Socks On Records, a small Bandcamp only record label to work with and promote other artists across the platform.

Das Kapitans are out playing live regularly now across the UK, energetic and at times chaotic shows have been witnessed from Norwich to Stockport and most places in between. This month will see them supporting punk legends Snuff on the 25th February at The Blue & Gold Club in Kings Lynn. Big Muff / MTV and all of Das Kapitans releases can be found on Bandcamp and through digital service providers.
