Pick of the Week: Capital Light's "This Is A Outrage"

Friday July 11, 2008

CapitalLightsThisIsAnOutrage.jpgThis Tulsa, OK based pop/rock band released their debut project, This Is An Outrage, on July 8, and are already charting in the Top 40 on iTunes Rock Albums chart.

Produced by award-winning Aaron Sprinkle, the album is a perfect blend of alternative pop and assertive modern rock.

Capital Lights started out as a Tulsa, OK acclaimed screamo act named afterEIGHT, but fortunately for us came to their senses in favor of heartfelt musical expressions and relatable lyrics.

The album starts off in high gear with the first single, "Outrage," a high energy pop/punk song and doesn't take a breath until the last song. In between, you'll find a pop beats on "Mile Away" and "Kick It Off," more aggressive modern rock with "Work It Out" and "Let the Little Lady Talk," and more power pop/punk with "The Night Of Your Life Is When You'll Die," which reminds me of Relient K.

I love the lyrics on "Return;" they were able to pen a song about the gospel and the return of Christ that's more poetic rock anthem than preachy sermon.

The band is currently on their own "Onstage Outrage Tour" with guests Keissier, A Rotterdam November, and Bidwell. Capital Lights will also be a part of the very first "Creation Festival: The Tour" with Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, KJ-52, Fireflight, Worth Dying For, RunKidRun and Esterlyn.
