LineUp

Chicago-born Cap'n Jazz was a pivotal indie emo band, known for its distinct punk-pop style and cult Midwest following. Founded by brothers Tim and Mike Kinsella, their lone 1995 album, "Shmap'n Shmazz," became a collector's item. Post-breakup, members shaped major emo acts: Promise Ring, Joan of Arc, and American Football. Their 1998 retrospective "Analphabetapolothology" cemented their lasting influence.

Influence of Capn Jazz

Short-lived but highly influential, Capn Jazz helped transform genres from a deeply underground punk subgenre into a more widely accepted subset of indie rock. Capn Jazz's main contribution was stylistic—they helped shift emo's always-elusive musical focus from post-hardcore prog-punk to an arty but more accessible punk-pop. Their discography was as scant as it was rare, but that very obscurity helped build their underground legend through word of mouth, until a double-CD retrospective was finally issued several years after their breakup. By that time, most of the members had moved on to other, better-known bands, most notably Joan of Arc, American Football, Owen, and the Promise Ring, which helped spread Capn Jazz's influence far beyond their original audience.
