Kid Captain’s MySpace photo gallery includes an album titled “behind the scenes”, shots of the band rehearsing in some tiny practice room with no window, space heaters and cigarettes around, everyone shouldering heavy coats and knit caps. It looks like one cold-ass winter in Birmingham, the industrial city in the west English midlands that was also home to Duran Duran. Amidst the chill Kid Captain have written a song called (what else) “A Contrast To Winter” that is balmy and spacious but still a little cool, vocalist Kristian Jones using that dramatic tenor common in so many Mancunian forbearers but here a little wide-eyed and modern. We’ve just signed the band to our RCRD LBL label and are dropping “A Contrast To Winter” as the first taste of the band’s music, so download the track below if you're into epic guitars and The Smiths.

Sounds like: Echo & The Bunnymen, Bell Hollow, The Smiths
