Urne: Setting Fire to the Sky [CD]

For anybody familiar Kid Kapichi's teeth-gnashing, blood-dripping punk snarl, the title of band's fourth album, Fearless Nature, should come as no surprise. An album riven with moments of self-doubt, it was made by a band that has grown bold enough to show the bullet holes in their armor after years on the frontline. Fearless Nature stands at the intersection of two member line-ups; the songs were written, recorded and produced with the original line-up (guitarist Ben Beetham and drummer George Macdonald announced they were leaving the band amicably in May 2025), but are now set to be taken on the road with the new guitarist Lee Martin and drummer Miles Gill. The band's political message remains undimmed, but Fearless Nature expands their repertoire allowing an emotional complexity into their lyrical perspective that is a major step forward, and the benefits are there for all to draw strength from.
