Info for Fearless Nature

The esteemed UK beat-punk band KID KAPICHI are proud to release their new album "Fearless Nature".

Since coming together a decade ago in Hastings, UK, KID KAPICHI have always been more brotherhood than band; like-minded musicians bound together by the belief that music and message can happily co-exist, and that being proud of where you’re from should in no way limit your ambition or narrow your view of the world.

Reflecting on the album, Jack says: “We began writing this album a year and a half ago. During that time, I think we all felt a lot of change on the horizon which I believe is reflected in this album. I personally was going through some of the darkest times of my life and listening back now I hear that fear but it’s also comforting to know how quickly things can change once again for the better. I’ve always looked outward for inspiration. The news. World affairs. What’s happening in our local communities and the feeling in the air, but this album was much more introspective and seeing your reflection as you look out the window rather than what’s on the other side.”

Jack continues: “I consider myself lucky to have gotten to the age I was at whilst writing this, that I hadn’t experienced anything like that before. But once you do, it gives you a whole new understanding on life and what people mean when they say they’re really struggling.”

KID KAPICHI

Produced by Mike Horner and Ben Beetham

Kid Kapichi
It’s Kapee-chee. It’s Ben Beetham (guitars, vocals), Eddie Lewis (bass), George Macdonald (drums) and Jack Wilson (vocals, guitars). Four twentysomethings with big personalities from Hastings who’ve been making music together for over half their lives, in various configurations. Working in pubs, construction, motorcycle trade, anything. Driving nightshifts just to keep playing. Eight years of non-stop graft. “The bands that make it are the ones that don’t give up,” says Eddie. “We’ve sacrificed everything. Normal jobs, settling down, we put our lives completely on hold for our dreams.”

And the four have dreamed up something special as Kid Kapichi. A behemoth of a band on and off stage thanks to the Hastings scene that nurtured them, until they got their big break from Frank Carter - he invited them to play his birthday party then join him on a major tour. Their best songs explore racism, in-work poverty, mental health, violence, frustration and all-consuming love with honesty and humour. All their songs come studded with barbed wire hooks, bristling with the juddering shock of lived experience, the cathartic thrill of a balled-up fist relaxing into an air punch.

After putting out debut album This Time Next Year independently in 2021, the band recently signed their first proper deal for follow-up Here’s What You Could Have Won. Deserved reward for all that graft. These 11 new songs are an excellent showcase for the band’s bigger, punchier, ‘beat punk’ sound, produced with Dom Craik from Nothing But Thieves.

Comeback single New England in January 2022 is their most explicitly political song yet, with a searing guest verse from Bob Vylan. It’s a brutal dissection of the xenophobic Little England mentality. They followed it with Partygate polemic Party At No. 10, praised by Liam Gallagher on Twitter, which they tried to debut with a busking performance outside the nation’s most infamous rave venue - before being dissuaded by Downing Street’s armed police. That won’t stop Kid Kapichi for long, though, as they’re touring the new album around the UK and Europe well into next year. Get involved.

This album contains no booklet.
