Thirteen years gone, with relentless work done, an album, a recent single "On Fire" with much more in-store, the band known as CAPTIVES has been doing music for a quite a bit. Playing shows, releasing more music is all set in-stone from these fine musicians. The band discussed their most recent offerings, and the more that they got coming up.
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
We've been around for 10 years. Formed in 2013 in Tasmania Australia. Go look up that island off the bottom of Australia. Cool part of the world. We've toured internationally (Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, China) playing international festivals and supporting a load of rad bands along the way. More recently, we travelled to New Jersey (USA) to record our latest material with producer Jon Markson (The Story So Far, Drug Church, Koyo, Quicksand) and Alan Day from Four Year Strong.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
There's nothing groundbreaking to it. We threw a few names around in the early days and the name Captives stuck.
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We're based in Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne has a strong local music scene. Loads of rad bands hail from this city and we love playing here. You should totally check out our good friends 'Mannequin Death Squad' and also a new band on the block called 'Copperhead' (they're actually from Tasmania where we grew up).
4. How would you describe your style?
Always the hardest question. We tend to think we fit into the Punk or Rock genres. But there's so many genres these days. Who even knows. We're happy for you to decide!
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We've released a load of music over the years. A few albums, EP's and singles. Our latest single 'On Fire' came out last week, with more new music on the way from our time over in the states.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
There's more new music on the way. Real soon. We're stoked to be back on the block. So keep an ear to the ground as they say.
7. As far as shows and touring, what is on the agenda?
We're launching our new single in our hometown of Melbourne on August 29th (Bergy Bandroom). It'll be a rad night with some great bands joining us. It'll be a nice way to officially launch some new music. More touring plans are in the works for 2027.
8. What else do you have planned for the rest of this year?
More new music is on the way. We can't wait to share it.
9. Where can we find you online, listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
You can find us on Instagram @captivesofficial or on Spotify, Apple music and YouTube.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
The music is yours. We hope it brings a good time; you enjoy it and come back for more.
