Interview: The Cape Race

With a blend of straight-up rock and powerful pop sensibilities, Manchester's The Cape Race have gradually been making a name for themselves in the past few months and it's likely to continue with the release of the band's free debut mini-album, 'Now, Voyager'.

Formed from the ashes of The Honeymoon Suite, The Cape Race is a more mature and focused band with, 'Now, Voyager' being a collection of vibrant and sensible songs.

Alter The Press! recently spoke to vocalist David Moloney about the new band's debut release, the decision to release it for free, working with producer Peter Miles and more.

Alter The Press: Several members of The Cape Race were originally part of The Honeymoon Suite. Could you tell us why that band ended and how has the transition to The Cape Race been?
David Moloney (vocals): Writing the music and performing the songs by the end of The Honeymoon Suite became such a chore. It wasn’t happening naturally to the point where we’d have to force ourselves to churn out the kinds of songs people would expect to hear from us. The whole of the last THS EP is the sound of a band not being themselves. It started to feel contrived, and we got tired of being part of that scene with those types of bands. The Cape Race was a natural progression of where our tastes had headed at that point. We made a conscious decision to write the way we wanted to write and not the way we felt we had to.

Single Review: The Cape Race - They're Young, They're In Love

Tipped for big things in 2011, The Cape Race make a exuberant blast with introductory single, 'They're Young, They're In Love'. The first of six singles (from their forthcoming 'Now, Voyager' record) sees the Manchester five-piece showcasing a bright, well-defined pop-rock style that is radiant.

With David Moloney's soothing, confident vocals melting over the slick, airy guitars that brings about a solid backbone and slightly summery vibe; in a similar fashion to The Dangerous Summer. Add to that a steady, accessible tempo and you're on to a winner.
