Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, or Sam to his friends, has to be filed under one of BSM's best. Doing something a little bit different to a lot of people around right now, Sam mixes delicate guitar melodies with intelligent lyrics, electronic drum beats and any other noises he can get out of his laptop. Hailing from Southend, possibly the most unlikely of all rock n roll launch pads, there is definitely a maturity well beyond his years, which is clear from the very first time you listen to one of his Postal Service crossed with Damien Rice-esque masterpieces. Sam can often be found clutching his guitar and laptop computer on one of the countries many Mega Bus routes. Surely the most punk rock touring transport choice in the world?
The limited edition 3" split CD with The Remarkable Rocket (released in Jan 05) sold out in a matter of days, quickly followed by the debut self-titled EP and the 10" split with Dave House (Jan 06). Sam is now signed to Atlantic Records.

"Get Cape could soon be something of a phenomenon... The genius lies not just in the socially aware lyrics or the laid back acoustic-meets-electronica feel, but the fact it’s meshed together in such an original and refreshing way"
NME
Like a young, interesting Billy Bragg
The Fly
This is a powerful creation and drags the one man band into the naughties. Dynamically personal and very gifted
The Sun
There's lots of excitement around British solo act Get Cape Wear Cape Fly. It'll take a while for him to filter through but he will be massive
Punktastic
"Fucking ace... This record just made the hairs on the back of my neck stick out straight away... Get Cape is amazing... One of the UK's brightest talents"
Drowned In Sound
"In the words of Monty Python, now it's time for something COMPLETELY different. Sam Duckworth is on a one-man mission and this, his debut EP, highlights his talent to produce music that is not just heart warming but that is also on the verge of being life affirming!" (4/5)
Mammothpress
Probably my favourite solo release of this year so far... This EP could happily be the soundtrack to my life right now.
Europunk
This debut EP almost sounds like a vibrant, joyous ode to life itself, rife with all the emotions and scents you would like to be confronted with every day in and every day out. The talent that pours out of these tracks is just utterly amazing, as they bear all those essentials that make this kind of music so exquisite and wonderful to listen to. You just gotta have this one!
Down In Sound
Records like this remind me how great the UK scene is at the moment. Do something for your scene, get off Myspace and go buy this record. (9/10)
Sound of Violence
This first EP is without any doubt among one of the best so far this year
Backlash
More Desaparecidos than Bright Eyes
