Cap'n Jazz

Cap'n Jazz, formed in Chicago, was an influential emo band known for their complex yet enthusiastic punk-pop style. Featuring Tim and Mike Kinsella, they gained a cult Midwest following with cryptic lyrics and unique vocals. After their only album, "Shmap'n Shmazz," they split, with members joining bands like The Promise Ring and Joan of Arc. Their legacy grew through a 1998 double-CD retrospective, "Analphabetapolothology."
