Review: Kid Kapichi, Here’s What You Could’ve Won

After a storming success of a debut album, Kid Kapichi return with ‘Here’s What You Could’ve Won’.

Known for their tongue-in-cheek lyrics and blunt commentary on today’s society, the band’s second album delves further into their industrial rock sound, putting into words exactly what we’re all thinking.

The album opens with New England featuring punk newcomer Bob Vylan, a ferocious, factory-like track that you already know is going to go down a frenzy when played live. The band telling people to take off their rose-coloured glasses and wake the fuck up, to drop their patriotic naivety and realise that the government is not on their side.

Another prime example of this is the sarcastic nod to the infamous politicians’ Christmas parties in the song, ‘Party at No.10’, the lyric, “cause it’s one rule for you and another for them”, is particularly poignant.

"They're angry and they want people to know it. "

Something Kid Kapichi has always done well, and especially succeeded at with ‘Here’s What You Could’ve Won’, is the matter-of-fact nature of their songs. With tracks like ‘Rob The Supermarket,’ or “5 days on, 2 days off”, they don’t beat around the bush or attempt to sugarcoat the topics they cover.

They’re angry and they want people to know it.

Preorder and presave the second album from Kid Kapichi here, prior to its release on Friday 23rd September.

Review: PEACH’s Self-Titled Debut Album

PEACH’s self-titled album is remarkably cohesive for a debut, in part because it isn’t really one. The Bristol-based punk foursome each boast years of experience in past projects, and as PEACH they have already begun to make a name for themselves in the local scene.

Review: Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game

To put it simply, Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game, is adorable, our number 1 feel-good film to come out of 2022. A true story, the film follows Roger Sharpe (played by Mike Faist), as he negotiates his love affair with pinball in a city where it's illegal under gambling laws, and how that 35-year ban was overturned.
