4 Bands / One Amazing Night:

Das Kapitans:

Das Kapitans are a four‑piece UK DIY punk band built on noise, graft, and the joy of playing loud in any room that’ll have them. Made up of Steve, Simon, Lewis, and Ollie, they deliver hook‑heavy chaos, sharp humour, and a live show that feels gloriously unhinged yet razor‑tight underneath it all.

They’ve gigged with Snuff, The None, Press Club, Wonk Unit, and a growing list of underground favourites, taking their racket across the UK and Italy and earning a reputation as the band that turns up, plays hard, and makes friends everywhere they go.

As part of the wider Socks On Records community, Das Kapitans champion DIY ethics, collaboration, and the belief that punk is at its best when everyone’s invited.
