News09 May 2008 New CD on Amazon - CLICK HERE TO BUY 08 March 2008 New CD album "Dreams in Stars" OUT NOW!!!! 28 May 2008 The Captives | Dreams In Stars (Ever After Recordings) Seven years on from the release of their debut disc, The Captives return with “Dreams In Stars,” another solid CD of sweeping and epic guitar pop. 2001's “In the Cobalt Twilight” emphatically introduced the band's Smiths/Cure/Chameleons-enamored sound as one not slavishly devoted to those influences, but extending the sonic lineage – like a fresh blossom on a venerable family tree. The new disc continues that flowering both musically and in its similar star-strewn artwork. Songs such as “The Line Between Us,” “Without Your Smile” and “For Tomorrow” see the band scaling heights of pop grandeur with Tom Laman's vocals soaring to the heavens and Eddie Lebario's layered guitars rising confidently to meet him there. At other times – most notably the petulant “What's Your Problem” – the band's reach exceeds their grasp and the songs cross the line from grand to grandiose. On the whole, however, one can't help but admire a band aiming for the stars and The Captives hit them much more often than not.
