About us


El Capitan are an alternative rock band from N Ireland. Only newly formed the band have began taking their initial steps of playing live on the local Irish alternative circuit. The band have been compared to such alternative luminairies such as Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Smiths, and Radiohead amongst many other's, combining all their favourite parts from each and melding them all together to create their own unique alloy of alternative rock. The band formed in April 06 while guitarist Sean Mc Goldrick and vocalist Mark Phair have been writing songs for a number of years previous.

Despite their short history the band have already won a number of fans and admirers including record producer's Chris Sheldon (foo fighters, the pixies, feeder) (chrissheldon.co.uk) and Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers) whom both have expressed an interest to work with them and have received numerous positive reviews from local press including BBC Northern Ireland's across the line. The hottley tipped band are releasing a mini album later this year and will have tracks available from iTunes worldwide from 14th August this year. Check myspace.com/elcapitanuk for updated news.
