Cape, Joey

***JOEY CAPE is a busy guy. He is the singer, songwriter, and founder of both LAGWAGON and BAD ASTRONAUT. He is the revered axe-man for everybody’s favorite punk rock supergroup ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES. He runs a record label out of his home studio called One Week Records. In addition to his already vast resume, over the last decade plus, he has established himself as a recognized solo artist. Anybody familiar with Joey’s work is well-aware of his acute ability to craft a great punk song. But his diverse musical abilities are further authenticated with the addition of his many solo and acoustic collaborative albums. Lagwagon fans are certainly familiar with the highly acclaimed Acoustic Vol. 1 and Acoustic Vol. 2, which features Joey Cape and Tony Sly putting their acoustic stylings to classic Lagwagon and No Use For A Name songs. With Cape's latest solo album, he has taken that same approach, and traded out the distortion pedals for an acoustic guitar, and the result is something that any fan of his work will appreciate. One Week Record (Covers) contains nine Lagwagon, and one Bad Astronaut track, that could have just as easily appeared on any of Joey’s solo albums. His deep musical craftmanship is evident as he takes classic Lagwagon hits and gives them a softer, more melodic feel, showing that each track could easily fit into any genre. One Week Record provides a retrospective for old and new Lagwagon and Bad Astronaut fans alike. (STREET DATE - 9/01/2017)
