The Capitals are a Canadian power pop band from Vancouver, British Columbia. They released their debut album, Broadcast One, in 2005.
The Capitals were formed in 2001 when long-time friends Robert Watt, Andrew Fuller and Nathan Barrett met Patrick Jacobson at the music store where he worked. They became fast friends and began to write and perform their own original material as Casey & Finnegan. Their first public performance was at Vancouver's The Railway Club on December 12, 2001. Although their songs were well received, Barrett only stayed with the band for six shows and Casey & Finnegan was put on hiatus almost as quickly as they had appeared.
In late 2002, band members Patrick Jacobson and Robert Watt entered Mesh Studios in Burnaby to record a four-song EP. Jeff Schultz engineered the project and Daniel Adair (Nickelback, 3 Doors Down) played drums. Although the recordings were released as a Casey & Finnegan CD, the band didn't really exist at the time. Jacobson and Watt played a handful of acoustic gigs during the better part of 2003 and even hired a group of studio musicians for a pair of full-band shows.
Andrew Fuller rejoined the band in August 2003, and drummer Jonathan Bonikowsky was added to the roster. Feeling like a new band, the Casey & Finnegan name was dropped and the band was reborn as The Capitals. Their debut album was produced by Kevin Kane and mixed by Steven Drake. The band spent two weeks recording the album at Profile Studios in Vancouver, and six days mixing it at Greenhouse Studios in Burnaby.
