Yards & Gods

Outside of a small handful of compilation releases in 2009 and the band’s zombiefied MySpace page, no record survives Cpt. Captain’s short existence in our no horse town of Columbia, Missouri. That is until now, as Yards & Gods is pleased to finally release When We Were Captains, the authoritative anthology we never knew we needed.

Featuring an unrelenting lineup of ten choice cuts, a resale value of exactly zero dollars, and digital liner notes so slick they’ll slide off your screen and onto your floor where your cats will run over and smell them and then slink back to whatever they were doing before the sliding/falling thing, When We Were Captains is the final word on what could have been.

Spanning the band’s entire existence, from the dubious days of Nascar Diarrhea to the surprisingly nautical-pun-bereft sounds of Cpt. Captain, When We Were Captains stands as a definitive document of one of the most promising and fertile periods in the history of the Columbia, MO, music scene. Latecomers will marvel at what they missed, those who were there will bask in the sad glow of what was and will never be again, and the band itself will reap millions in royalties and inevitable licensing deals. These ten songs will set the record straight, rightfully placing Cpt. Captain once and for all in the highest echelon of local rock and roll royalty.
