The great white hopes of the UK ska scene broke out of the toilet circuit in with this album. And it is fair to say that while Capdown do not sweep the board here at Punktastic in terms of fans Hello Sav , I believe that Civil Disobedients is a fine example of heavy ska mixed in with some punk rock of the highest order.
The subject matter in some songs the trademark ska appeal for a relaxing of the cannabis laws, anti capitalist rants may seem familiar and well-trodden, yet the intelligence displayed in a song such as Ska Wars shows another side to a band who cannot be written off as just another nuisance punk rock band. I remembed hearing about them being finished, and it made me sad. I should try to find this. Or at least hear Ska Wars.
Album Rating: 3. It is a shame they split, but I was lucky enough to get to go see them in Wrexham. Capdown Civil Disobedients 3. Last year it was announced that Capdown would be the latest British ska-punk to come to a premature end. Their ten year career saw them play well over a thousand gigs including legendary sets at the annual Reading Festival as well as supporting American ska bands such as Less Than Jake.
Sadly for their fans, and the British punk scene in general, it was announced that Wind Up toys would be their last album, and that the band would never again play under the name of Capdown. Lyrically, they focus on politics and the name Capdown itself is short for Capitalist Downfall. In short, it is ska-punk perfection. It is one of the most lively songs on the album, with creative saxophone parts; excellent lyrics; it is brilliantly structured and has a ridiculously addictive chanting part before each verse.
While no other song on the album matches up to it quality wise, the standard throughout the album is very high and there are several highlights. Musicianship is fairly simple, yet it is clearly very well thought out, as are the lyrics and this is the case with most songs on the album. The Lost Europe Jamaram-0okuchaka! Jan Hegenberg-Bam!
