Captain Samurai are a three piece from Phoenix, Arizona, led by Amador Diaz. Details are rather scarce, but what I do know is they are set to release an album with WTD favs 80N7 this coming Autumn.
Ahead of said release, the band have unveiled the first single, ‘Tired’. The song captures pretty much everything that’s great about 80N7 releases, ramshackle rock accompanied with the forced indifference of cool youth. That said, Captain Samurai break the illusion of hipness by revving themselves past apathy, the song building into a cacophonous, angsty catharsis where instruments are pounded and Diaz howls with his heart on his sleeve. Take that, fashionable detachment!
