What happened to Capricorns? Out of that slew of metallic instrumental groups of the last five years they were easily the most interesting, probably by virtue of the fact they played songs that had more than one riff and tempo and didn't have to have...

Vice: Didn’t you break up or something?

Nathan Bennett (guitar):

Why’d you move?

Excuse me?

Who ran that place? The NHS are branching out now?

How did you know what was going down in there?

Eeesh. Grim.

You rang the cops about it?

What did they say?

I guess you’ve gotta be there just as the rock smashes the clit?

Haha. So I guess Capricorns started crumbling as you moved to Berlin and Dean (Berry, bass) went off to Canada?

Annons

So how did you get anything written?

And what happened?

So how was the atmosphere during the recording process? The record sounds quite… angry and tense.

Were you taking the high moral ground and killing them with silence?

What was the nadir of the whole thing? Did somebody knock a tray of curry over the mixing desk or something?

So how did it all end?

How was the vibe?

And in the middle of all this you had to have your photos taken all like “We’re a band”.

The body language in the photos is funny.

Did you bro down with them that day and shake hands?

We asked Kevin Williams about all this stuff and he said there was no hatred involved and that the band were still technically together but they needed a good offer if they were to be able to fly Nathan over from Tokyo to do some shows. Contact them at myspace.com/capricorns.
