Capra

Combining elements of punk, hardcore, and metal, Louisiana’s Capra turns emotional discord into catharsis. Emerging in 2016, the quartet eventually caught the attention of Metal Blade imprint Blacklight Media, which released the group’s uncompromising full-length debut, In Transmission, in 2021.
Looking to evoke the sounds of the late-’90s and early-2000s punk and hardcore scenes, Capra was founded in Lafayette in 2016 by guitarist Tyler Harper and drummer Jeremy Randazzo. The band eventually solidified into a four-piece with the arrivals of bassist Ben Paramore and vocalist Crow Lotus, and in 2019 they began laying down tracks for what would become their debut long-player. Urgent, dynamic, inspiring, and unrelenting, the resulting In Transmission was released in 2021. ~ James Christopher Monger
