VIDEO: Capital Sun – The Work Song

• 21st Jun 2012

A working band from Birmingham, Capital Sun’s second single from their collaboration with renowned record producer Chris Tsangarides ‘The Work Song’ will be out on 23rd July. Formed in the winter of 2010, Capital Sun are a four-piece acoustic rock band from Birmingham with a powerful, progressive and dynamic sound. The band’s major influences are bands and artists from the late 60s and early 70s, which combined with very current lyrical themes, gives the band a pertinent sound for today’s listener.

They had this to say: ‘The Work Song’ is an observation of human habits, routine and the British compulsive attitude to work. With a recession in full swing all four members of Capital Sun have day jobs. Every penny that is not taken by menial outgoings gets pumped in to the band, to get them closer to their goal of Capital Sun being a full time occupation. ‘The Work Song’ taps into the habitual nature of having a job. It deals with some of the questions you find yourself asking yourself in moments of career/life contemplation.

Capital Sun will be back in the studio with Chris Tsangarides in late August to record their debut album.
