Capital

Signal Corps

[3.5/5] Long Island, you’ve been doing well for yourself lately. Capital provide just the kind of inspired melodic hardcore that Silent Majority brought to the table during their unfortunately brief career (which makes sense, since former SM singer Tommy Corrigan now fronts Capital). With gritty vocals and cascading rhythms, Capital will seemingly be carrying that very same torch, hopefully for a long time to come. In only a half-hour’s time, this four-piece are able to establish themselves as a hard-hitting outfit with an unlimited amount of tricks up their sleeve. From the slick chord progressions and shout-along finish of “Snakes In Disguise” to the straightforward assault of “Emergency Broadcast,” it all coalesces to form a well-oiled machine-one that refuses to fire on any less than all cylinders. It may be a bit soon to crown them kings of Long Island, but it’s not too soon to be watching the throne. (IRON PIER) Jordan Rogowski
