Captains Of Industry

is a loosely connected organisation of like-minded writers, musicians, artists, poets, publishers, record labels, producers, fanzines and other deviants of the artistic / altruistic process. Through a simple shared philosophy the collective aims to share resources and provide cross-cultural reference points in order to aid creative output and spread a message of opposition to those who misuse their positions of power - be they artistic, economic or political.

Unlike those macho wankers in Top Gun, none of them are qualified to fly jets.

Somewhere in that space between the crack smoking death disco dollies masquerading as 'punk' bands, the Coldplay-inspired pub warblers and the metal-lite emo artists, We Will Be Pilots formed in London in early 2004. They play short, sharp songs that shout about love, death and Cold War politics.

Their first demo tape was entitled 'How To Survive A Nuclear Attack' and was recorded in the heart of Soho. It tapped right into the energy of the city and fititngly sounded like a nuclear attack - at least, if guitars were cruise missiles and ears an insignifanct peace-loving nation. Oh yes....

Then the eagerly anticipated first album "THIS IS WHAT YOU FIGHT FOR" was released amoungst a frenzy of frantic gigs and much critical acclaim.

This is just the first line of the first chapter.

Take heed.

"Urgently spiky boing-boing art punk new wave Ikara Colt types with no time to waste on learning to fly jets. Slash slash - the razor wire around your mind, the sharpened knife of no self belief. They're angry, they like feedback, this is indeed a furious rampage of fake ideals and Wire and one a half minute style outburst, a razor cut, try to dress it up....Yes!"

"A furious rampage of a tune...after the power exhibited over the 1 minute 49 second song, there will be people in need of medical assistance."
- Artrocker

"Taking a Zebedeeish approach to stagemanship,We Will Be Pilots appear to cunningly have crammed the entirety of one of John Peel’s better Festive 50's into the vast majority of their songs - all the buzzsaws, thrift chic, fiercely flung drumming and mainlined adrenaline..."
