Contributed by joshr. Posted by aubin on Friday, March 30, 2007 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

Afterburner, a new project formed by Joey Cape (Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut) and Todd Capps (Bad Astronaut), have debuted four new songs. Joey first announced the project in January.

You can check out the music on their myspace page.

Bad Astronaut was retired in memory of drummer Derek Plourde. Their final album, Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment, was released last year.

Digging the new sound??? It's not new sound. The Bad Brains have been doing it much longer

Someone (March 30, 2007)

Did you listen to the band at all?

Joey Cape is my hero, plain and simple.

same for me

Sapherlap (March 30, 2007)

Wow. Right when the first song started playing, that very first split second, it made me all, "Whoa... I gotta buy this once it's released."

ickefes (March 30, 2007)

Cape, you never cease to amaze me. Ever since Lagwagon caught my attention in '96, I have been an addict to yours and Lagwagons music. Post-"Let's Talk About Feelings" releases have had superb deppressive (but in a good, really good way) sounds to them. Pre made music had the raw and metal while Hoss was a transaction into the rest of the released music

Wasn't Afterburner a game for Sega Master System?

swank (March 30, 2007)

you are correct, sir.

And it was in arcades and had a seat that would move in reaction to gameplay.

JayTee (March 30, 2007)

Oh yeahhhh, I remember that. Master System was the shit. I had that before Nintnedo. Gangster Town, Ghostbusters and Reggie Jackson baseball all rocked ass.

His name was spelled "Derrick" Plourde. Please fix it.

Someone (March 31, 2007)

Definitely better than all the other shithouse "side projects" that seem to be popping out everywhere at the moment.
