Ausverkauft: Captain Planet

The concert is sold out!

Captain Planet released their new, fifth album "Come On, Cat" on 08.09.2023 on Zeitstrafe and are going on tour with it.

Captain Planet is a special band. A band that you don't forget, even if you don't hear from them for a while. The last album "Ein Ende" was released 7 years ago, the last concert took place in February 2020. It is the definition of a favorite band that accompanies, stays, likes to be quiet sometimes, and then gently breaks your heart in time with new music and new lyrics, while at the same time telling you It goes on. Somehow. Must. whispers in your ear.

With their 11 new songs, the five Hamburgers are probably closer to the here and now than they have ever been. Sentences such as "We've all been counted out for years" (Halley) express what many people feel: The last few years, all that often overwhelming shit: happy days just look insanely different. It's about everyone "who can't stand it anymore", because Captain Planet never just look outwards. Flat zeitgeist is still alien to the band. As always, the lyrics are clever, highly personal and take you where it hurts.

Musically, "Come On, Cat" is energetic, melodic emo-punk that has been playing in its own league in Germany since the band was founded in 2003. We're sorry, but it has to be said. Of course, there are the euphoric finger-pointing parts, in which no phrases are trotted out after 20 years, the right, unpleasant questions are asked and it will in all likelihood not be easy to listen to: "You never look back. Because nothing is there. All gone unnoticed" (Half as hard). Rousing hooks, the most condensed, most compressed Captain Planet album to date, in which the hits are not so easy to pick out, because somehow there are no songs that aren't songs.

Even with their fifth album, Captain Planet are not going to climb the Deutschpunk Olympus in this country. That's not what they set out to do. This band is true to itself, not a scene figure. And yet: few bands trigger such excitement and enthusiasm among their friends (don't say fans) when something new happens. Come to the tour and see for yourself - if you don't like standing out, you might want to cram all the lyrics from the band's history beforehand, because it's always been about "Screaming at the top of your lungs. Up here. With all of us." (Word on the bridge, 2007). Nevertheless, please don't expect a sense of togetherness, because that still doesn't exist here.

The "Come On, Cat" pre-order and pre-sale for the new live dates start on 04.07.2023 at Zeitstrafe at www.ghvc-shop.de/captainplanet
