Chick Cigarettes

by The Capstan Shafts

supported by

Joe Murphy I will never stop loving this band, and I treasure the time when Capstan Shafts was still out there in the world releasing new music. Dean Wells it's not too late to exhume, repaint and recollect the pieces of this glory. Favorite track: Revenge Sex Theater.

ssaskyaa I'm not very good with words but this album holds so much teenage memories for me, such honest words and raw musicality really changed something in my brain those pre teenage years. Thank you so much Dean... Favorite track: Shiny New Chain.

Sonny the Monster I've been listening to this album pretty regularly since I first discovered it a decade or so ago. It's one of those rare, timeless albums that you can listen to endlessly and never get tired of it. The songs on here are some of the strongest I've ever heard, and once you get them stuck in your head, you'll never want them to leave. Favorite track: Froth of July.

Honey Radar have never made a bad album (or EP). Everything they've ever put out has made me question gravity (in a good way). I want them to play at my funeral. Peecat
