After a few technical problems today, we’re excited to be able to share with you the premiere of Road to Ruin from Kansas City’s Captiva.

JJ Ries (vocals, guitar), Pat McQuaid (guitar, vocals), Nick Riffle (bass), and Hank Wiedel (drums) first bonded while holed up in school detention, and now free of the restraints of education, the youthful band have already started making waves stateside.

Captiva are due to release their debut self-titled EP next month, and Road to Ruin gives us a great introduction into their energetic and infectious brand of rock’n’roll that is made for the volume turned up load.

For those of you stateside, Captiva have a number of shows coming up in the next couple of months.
Dec. 10 – Live session on 90.1 FM KKFI (Kansas City, MO)
Dec. 11 – KU Campus Release Party at The Bull (Lawrence, KS)
Dec. 12 – Barleycorn’s (Wichita, KS)
Dec. 15 – The Riot Room w/ The Plain White T’s (Kansas City, MO)
Jan. 10-15 – SnoDaze (Steamboat Springs, CO)
