They’ve been labelled everything from pop-punk to emo to post-hardcore, but Calling All Captains cover all of that and more on (e)motion sickness, their explosive and expansive new collection.
“(e)motion sickness marks the first time we’ve written music as a four-piece, and honestly, it felt very freeing,” begins guitarist / vocalist Brad Bremner, speaking on behalf of bandmates Connor Dawkins (guitar / vocals), Luc Gauthier (lead vocals), and Tim Wilson (drums).
Since dropping their head-turning debut EP Nothing Grows Here in 2019, Calling All Captains have been remarkably prolific, quickly cementing their status as genre-bending innovators in a crowded and often stagnant scene. They amassed millions of streams with their first full-length, Slowly Getting Better, followed by “Unlike Me,” the lauded lead-up single preceding (e)motion sickness – all while touring tirelessly to set the stage for their most ambitious offering to date.
(e)motion sickness marks the culmination of that growth to-date, building atop Calling All Captains’ rock-solid musical foundation with an even wider array of sonic influence and lyrical prowess, and ultimately, making the essence of what they do rather difficult to describe.
Really, you just need to listen for yourself.
