Brandon was formerly in the punk outfit UFOFU (Medicine and Time Bomb) and Josh formerly played in Comet (Dedicated) . "Trip hoppy pop to Velvet Underground dreaminess with shimmering backgrounds" Puncture 'Luxury...',Captain Audio's first full length, is an epic pop statement that combines the sounds of Phil Spector, and Bowie's glam days, with swirling melodies and grinding grooves. Their live shows are "one-of-a-kind" experiences.
