Captain

Keep An Open Mind

Bands don’t really plead with the public in their song-titles too much – The Verve don’t have a number called ‘We’ll Be Shit At Glastonbury But We Promise To Do Bitter Sweet Symphony At The End If You Don’t Throw Bottles’, for example. But tell that to Captain. Their new single’s called ‘Keep An Open Mind’ as in, “Please don’t instantly judge us too harshly kind folk, we know we sound like Scouting For Girls, but listen a few times and maybe you won’t want to kick us in the throat as much as you thought.” So we listened. Didn’t work, Captain. Didn’t work.
