“Massive, melodic, spine tingling. It works” - Manchester Music "Cracking lyrics...epic rock sound...an odyssey in tempo and melody. It may sound weird, but it’s fabulous" - Glasswerk “A veritable banquet of diverse styles, fresh ideas, unusual chord shapes and colourfully abstract musical forms” - Stoke Sounds Si Waite Vocals, Guitars, Bass Scott Ralph Vocals, Guitars, Bass Paul Murfin Drums, Vocals, Samples New album Compos Mentis, Release date: September 12th 2008. Record Company: Happy Squatter Records An extraordinary first album Compos Mentis delivers 13 original tracks mixed by Mark Ralph (Fatboy Slim, The Others) and David M Allen (The Cure). Captain Yange prove that although they are an authentic fresh voice able to keep their integrity intact and still produce day time radio classics. Lead singles Vex Machine and Fuse have power, presence and hooks to die for. Their renown live technical ability is not lost in the studio with Compos Mentis perfectly capturing the energy and thrills of the live experience. The sonic power created on stage belies the fact that this is only three piece, complimented by the tasty use of samples and loops with the slick swapping instruments and lead vocal duties between Si Waite and Scott Ralph. Often collaborating with dancers, and video artists the band indulge the audience to a totally unique entertainment experience. Playing to full houses in Manchester, Birmingham and across the West Midlands region the Yange are a band those in the know treasure. Compos Mentis will surely introduce them to a wider national and international audience. Captain Yange are supporting Fightstar on their October 2008 tour.
