Capdown

Capdown are a band from Milton Keynes, England. Originally known as Soap, their songs have political themes as alluded to by their name, which is short for Capitalist Downfall.

Career

In May 2000, the Household Name Records released Capdown's debut album Civil Disobedients. The album featured hardcore, but also mixed in ska and dub. According to Drowned in Sound the album kick started an underground punk scene. The album went on to be listed at 76 in the NME's top one hundred list for the decade. In the same year Capdown played nearly 250 gigs.

In early 2001, Capdown toured with a number of established American bands, including Less Than Jake and played the Deconstruction touring festival with Pennywise and Lagwagon.

In September 2001, Capdown released their second album, Pound for the Sound, receiving positive reviews from Kerrang! The following year saw tours with Bad Religion and Hundred Reasons.

Headstrong

by: Capdown

As I look back now it's exactly how you said
But it made no difference to the life that I led
The route that I took may mean that I learnt hard
But you only get one chance to make things play the way you're dreamin' of
I didn't know then but then what the fuck is life for
I still regret it, but now I strong than before
And this strength will open up new doors
See things I never saw before
I never claim I'm the blessed
I have faith in myself and belief in this message
No I never claim I'm the blessed
I have belief in my strengths and respect for my weakness
Cos he who can learn to respect and seek to understand
Can overcome or learn to play another hand
Yes he who can learn to respect and seek to understand
Can look back and say
Now I'm stronger than before
My strength will open up new doors
See things I never saw before
I stand now focused again
It takes time to reach a peace within
I stand now focused again
It takes time to reach your peace within
You see to try but you never ask the question why
Too concerned with your need for an alibi
It's only try cos you never find your reason why
