About The Capshuns…Well we were moving rite along, and not so very bad. All the things we’d done so well, and all the things we’d had. We had quite the talented little son, and called it a gifted band. Now we have plenty to eat and we have quite a descent plan. Eventually diamonds dull, and swami’s have to bleed. The time will drink the ocean, it’ll teach you what you need. We’re here and here we’re going to stay, so climb on everyone. Tell your children, tell your lovers, tell them of The Capshuns….

The River City Rebels, a seven-piece ska-punk band, was formed in Burlington, Vermont in the late 1990’s. The Rebels consist of Ward Aimi (vocals), guitarists Dan O’Day and Gabe Rich, Chris Jukowsky (bass), Erik Schmidt (drums), Brandon Rainier (trombone), and Dan McCool (trumpet). They were signed to Victory Records in 2000. Their boisterous sound and politically-charged lyrics caught the attention of teenaged pop-punk and ska fans with their first album, Racism, Religion, and War (2000), and their sophomore release Playin’ To Live, Livin’ To Play (2001). They have since released two more albums on Victory, No Good No Time No Pride in 2002 and Hate To Be Loved in 2004.
