Album Review: Bad Press by Captain Accident & The Disasters (by Theo Martin-Herbert)


An absolute belter for ska and reggae fans here. Captain Accident and The Disasters have recently put out a meditation on modern life, opening up with a slow track that winds its way into your brain, welcoming the end of the world and asking you to dance while everything burns. This invitation sets up the tone for the rest of the album, mulling over how we got here and how we can keep things positive now that we are here.


The album has a great pace throughout, slowly beckoning you over to come and listen before picking up the pace. Couple that with some fantastic guitar work throughout – great lead lines permeate the experience, really accentuating and complimenting the songs with added textures and hooks. The production too is crisp and clean, every stab coming through with a great vocal sound as well, so definite props are deserved for that! Overall, Captain Accident have crafted something special for all you ska and reggae fans out there – give it a listen and enjoy the end of the world.
