As I sit here feeling down and dejected from the Capitals round two exit of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, I figured I’d shift the focus to the left coast and LA (by way of Ventura) based Captions and their track “Bearfight”.
I actually found this track via the awesome Buzzbands.LA, which I check pretty regularly.
Writing about this LA band is appropriate for two reasons: one, it’s a great track and it fits just right into the Sirens rock niche, and the second is I’m gonna throw my hockey support behind the LA Kings and Kopitar and Quick to take the Cup this year. So why not an LA track, right? Right.
There’s is nothing like a great rock track washed out in reverb – “Bearfight” has reverb laced vocals, even some delicious call and respond moments, and a jangly rhythm that has a bit of that dancing-in-the-rear-view-mirror feel. The track brings back the smile you have on a lazy summer day. Enjoy it.

Only recently making the move from Ventura to L.A., shoegaze quartet Captions sounds like they’re also making the right moves when it comes to their music. With guitar-pop hooks and sunny vocals drenched in reverb, Adam Gangi, John Figueroa, Marcus Paquini and Josh Zacarias finally have an EP titled “Think Thunk Thought” on its way after forming the band back in 2009. Although they seem to have a liking for 8 bit covers, their original songs such as “Bearfights” have just the right amount of warmth, fuzz and melodies for one to anticipate more pop gems from them in the future. - Buzzbands LA
