Like all the best bands, (and many of those on Freshly Squeezed Music) their sound is hard to pin down but comparisons have been made to βMadness, The Streets and Lily Allenβ among many others (The Bristol Magazine).
Cut Capers have established themselves as go-to festival favourites, playing headline shows and main stage performances at some of the UKβs biggest festivals including Glastonbury Festival (official) and Boomtown Fair.
They have now performed in over 50 cities across 8 countries including Italy, Turkey and Bahrain.
To launch their new album METROPOLIS; Bristolβs own Cut Capers now embark upon their first ever UK album tour playing some of the UKβs finest venues!

Cut Capers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From dusk to dawn unplanned
Night time lovers serenade
Each other on the Grand
I can feel it in the air
Magical and sweet
Drinks will flow, no one knows
Who they'll meet
I'm keeping my feet off the ground
Believing there's more to astound
I'm stealing the sights and the sounds
Yeah
Twisting through the cobbled streets
Where old and new collide
Bridges arch the waterways
That run and intertwine
Sun illuminates the scene
People smile and grin
Tipsy nights, heat ignites
The wild within
I'm keeping my feet off the ground
Believing there's more to astound
I'm stealing the sights and the sounds
Yeah
I'm keeping my feet off the ground
Believing there's more to astound
I'm stealing the sights and the sounds
Yeah
I'm keeping my feet off the ground
Believing there's more to astound
I'm stealing the sights and the sounds
Yeah
You know I'm keeping my feet off the ground
Believing there's more to astound
I'm keeping my feet off the ground
Yeah
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
