God knows what Sam Duckworth, lone Get Cape-er was thinking of when he came up with this moniker, but this homegrown guitarist clearly has his musical heart in the right place at least. Coming across like a modern day acoustic troubadour backed only by his guitar and a laptop (with some sparse strings and a trumpeter in some places), he's definitely a likeable singer/songwriter on paper. And the media attention is warranted to some extent, too; he's got a great ear for melody and doesnt let his lyrics get bogged down in the standard singer/songwriter relationship problems. Makes a nice change, actually.
Sam's not putting on a faux-American accent too, letting his southern English voice come through, if a little harshly for the songs at times like on part 2 of the title track. But his acoustic strumming is well complimented by the electronic drum backing, which simply allows the songs to breathe when they arrive and doesnt constrict or overwhelm them. Like with Halloween Alaska, it's hard to compare him to someone, and whilst he isn't the second coming (experience says no one the British media hypes up will ever be), this is a pretty damn good CD.

I heard Get Cape . . . for the first time on the Reading Festival coverage by the BBC, and this alone moved me to buy the album. This has to be one of the freshest and most vibrant albums of the year.
All power to Sam and his crew for a great live performance and a great album full of individual songs of great quality.
If you do not buy this you are sadly missing a fantastic debut album, there will be more I am sure.

This is my favourite album of 2006. He has an individual style based around an acoustic guitar, drums, brass section and distinctive vocals - a great English sound (reminds me of the Jam or Badly Drawn Boy). This gives the album a raw, busker-ish sound but this adds to, rather than detracts from it's appeal (Dylan wasn't half bad after all). His lyrics are largely heart-felt socio-polital commentary (sounds heavy going but it isn't at all) and it's easy to find yourself singing along; there are some really great tunes. It's an album I can't recommend highly enough, not a dud track and most are outstanding. If you get chance to see him live don't miss it, he is absolutely awesome.
