Heavy Alt duo East Capri release infectious debut single, 'Wake n Repeat' and announce EP
Brisbane is welcoming heavy alternative duo East Capri to the scene with their impressive debut single, ‘Wake n Repeat’, which will is also the title track to their forthcoming debut EP (due to release on August 27).
Taking cues from current popular heavy alt acts, East Capri combine hip hop and synth pop elements with solid, rock drums, walls of guitar and emotional vocals. There’s definitely hints of Twenty One Pilots and later Bring Me The Horizon shining through their sound, while still retaining their own sonic approach.
"Wake n Repeat" made its radio debut on Triple M Hard N Heavy on Tuesday night before dropping their postmodern inspired video by Third Eye Visuals exclusively at Hysteria Mag yesterday. Guitarist Jackson Deasy highlights that "a lot of the [music video] imagery relates to your own mind holding you back."
‘Wake n Repeat’ made its radio debut on Triple M Hard N Heavy recently, followed by the release of their accompanying music video (by Third Eye Visuals). Of which, guitarist Jackson Deasy highlights that ‘a lot of the [music video] imagery relates to your own mind holding you back.’
Vocalist Eden Cartwright continues, "There's a vicious cycle that comes into play there, you're too depressed to get out of bed, but then you feel guilty about not having accomplished anything with your day. It's just wake and repeat. You get up and miss out on the world because of your fears and depression.”
Forming in regional Queensland, Eden Cartwright (vocals) and Jackson Deasy (guitar) make up East Capri, a product of shared musical interests and influences which in turn have built the foundations of the Brisbane duo. Taking inspiration from bands to the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Twenty One Pilots, Slaves, Falling In Reverse and I Prevail, East Capri pool their collective influences together and endeavour to produce music with feeling and to create connection. Forthcoming EP 'Wake n Repeat' shares a delicate side to the band that has culminated in an honest and cathartic release. "This record shows a deep side of tragedy and pain, and through the writing process we really grew a strong bond not only as a band but as lifelong friends" explains Cartwright. "Writing and creating was the biggest factor in helping us cope through some seriously tough and isolating times."
The band take on a DIY approach to their music, with each track fully written and produced in house. Over the span of four years the trio have found their footing and are ready to unleash their carefully crafted collection of addictive melodies and infectious grooves.
’Wake n Repeat’ is out now.
