Kid Kapichi + Demob Happy

KID KAPICHI (Rock): Kid Kapichi, jewel in the crown of British punk, are announcing a series of concerts in France in 2026, including on 09.12.26 at Le Ferrailleur!

The new line-up, still fronted by Jack Wilson and Eddie Lewis, will perform live the album Fearless Nature, available since the beginning of the year via Spinefarm Records.

Written during the summer of 2024, Fearless Nature reflects a period of profound upheaval for Wilson, marked by a series of mental health struggles, and its songwriting, once fuelled by anger, has become dominated by fear. Making the album nevertheless had a therapeutic effect on the band's singer: "I feel really good today. When I listen to this album, it's what I'm proudest of today. Listening back, I realise I was in a place I'd never been before, without knowing how to get out of it. Now, I've taken back control."

The album also marks another turning point for Kid Kapichi. In May 2025, guitarist Ben Beetham and drummer George Macdonald announced their departure from the band, and Fearless Nature sits at the crossroads of two eras: written, recorded and produced with the former line-up, but performed live by guitarist Lee Martin and drummer Miles Gill, long-time friends of Wilson and Lewis. "There's a totally new energy, especially live. We're jumping everywhere, as if it were our very first gig."
