TURN UP THE VOLUME: "Who said indie guitar pop is dead? Go away. On second thoughts stay and try to not lose yourself in this 6-string whirlwind steaming all over you... Cape Crush rush and race rivetingly with no intention to slow down on their swift run."

⚡ dyingscene.com/releases/ds-...
If It's Too Loud on TELL: "The song is a pleading alt-rocker that’s as pained as it is fiery. It’s both noisy and melodic, and somehow still contains a mostly positive message. It’s a highly political song that leaves zero question which side TELL stand on."
