GTKY: Capture This

Monday Dec 01, 2025
A pop-punk band from Denver Colorado that just dropped a new EP entitiled "Tangled". Fronted by the singer known as "Leah" these guys hit every check box if you are into pop punk. From fun and flirty lyrics, to serious undertones and teetering on darkness-they nail it. We talked to them on the Get To Know You series and learned that regardless of everything you face in life "KEEP GOING" (Leah).
Another great band interview, with amazing people! We are thankful you were a part of our series. Thank you to the band for joining us. You can find more of them and their music at the links down below:
