The Capes (band)

Rupert Cresswell's brother Nick was soon brought in as an extra guitar and keyboard player, thus completing the current line-up of the band.

Hard Soul Records, an American label, released the band's debut EP Taste in 2005.

Despite two American tours, an appearance at SXSW, and favourable reviews by online publications such as Pitchfork Media and Cokemachineglow, by late 2006 the band had parted ways with Hard Soul.

This was in part due to a general lack of support from the label, who, amongst other things, left the band stranded in Athens, Georgia at the end of the 2006 US tour.

Singer Kris Barratt is now focusing his attention on a new band, Spring Tigers, on the Bright Antenna label.
