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 “Madness, The Streets and Lily Allen” 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 UK’s 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; Bristol’s own Cut Capers now embark upon their first ever UK album tour playing some of the UK’s finest venues!

Do what, do what you wanna, do not let them other people do that for you

Cut Capers's song "Say What" is an uplifting call for self-expression and empowerment. The lyrics suggest that individuals should not allow others to dictate their actions and thoughts, but instead should be true to themselves and embrace their individuality. The singer acknowledges the challenges of navigating life's twists and turns, but emphasizes the importance of holding onto one's own sense of direction, even in the face of uncertainty.
The song's upbeat tempo, catchy melody, and repetitive lyrics create a driving, infectious rhythm that inspires listeners to let go of their inhibitions and dance with abandon. The use of nonsensical syllables throughout the song, such as "da-do-dah" and "da-da-do-di," further emphasizes the idea of freeing oneself from the constraints of language and society's expectations.
Overall, "Say What" is a celebration of personal agency and authenticity, a message that is both relevant and needed in today's world where conformity and homogeneity often seem to be prized over individuality.

Yeah, step it up son, I got the keys to my new house
New place to spend your checks on that goose round
Six-pack of bevvy and a belly full of hash browns
Man now looks kind of new in this down town
There's a big bite, not much to lose to name places
Step inside, it's a first-name basis
Adjacent accommodation, stop complaining
We're tryin'a join in and spend time with these vagrants

Say what you wanna say, just when you feel it

Yo, poned las manos en el aire
Shuffling along, with my laces untied,
Going sideways, right there, buying paper
Nothing to do but cut capers
