X MIST - GERMANY

"This band reminds me of anything that was ever fascinating about Post-Punk, No Wave, etc... hints of bands like BUSH TETRAS, PYLON, early SONIC YOUTH and many more come to mind - but the best thing is that CAP PAS CAP turn all this into a sound of their own! Not only the best thing out of Ireland since many many years, but maybe as well one of the best records of this and last year!"

PICADILLY RECORDS, MANCHESTER

fantastic debut EP from Dublin's Cap Pas Cap who skillfully combine elements of Sonic Youth, LCD Soundsystem, the Rapture and the Cure to create a wonderful indie-post-punk meltdown.

MONGREL MAGAZINE (79%)

"Cap Pas Cap are way better than we have any right to expect an Irish band to be."

HOT PRESS MAGAZINE REVIEW (9/10)

"Out of step at home it may be, but their sparky, percussive post-punk ramblings are more than in tune with what's going on elsewhere and in the age when a song can go round the world in a matter of hours, Cap Pas Cap could be set to fly."

IRISH TIMES (4/5 stars)

’they make skewed electro-rock you can dance to’
’the most inventive band to come out of Ireland in ages.’

TOTALLY DUBLIN

‘Their love of krautrock is conspicuous; jagged riffs with clean edges, and clever, repetitive melodies abound’
‘A breathtaking debut release; Cap Pas Cap could yet prove to be a vital component in the evolution of Irish music.’

ROAD RECORDS

‘the perfect middle ground between the no wave sounds of early sonic youth, talking heads funky basslines and the sounds of modern bands like the rapture and lcd soundsystem’,

METRO DUBLIN

‘Art rock and bubblegum pop collide to thrilling effect on the first single from Dublin new-wave crew Cap Pas Cap.’

IN DUBLIN MAGAZINE

‘Looking and sounding like the band you always wanted to be in, Cap Pas Cap have the potential to be massive. Just don't tell anybody yet...’
‘simple but madly effective basslines, snatched guitar riffs, minimal keyboard melodies, taut, solid drumming, esoteric lyricism and ululating vocals.’

CAPITAL MAGAZINE

‘Irish post-punk four-piece Cap Pas Cap; a little over a year old and doing a fine line in Rapture-espue vocal wailings atop sincere, edgy guitar riffs’

SMALL BROWN BEAR

‘This is not the raw sound of punk, it's more dispassionate.’
‘The spark of something more literate and experimental.’
