**San Francisco funk-rock metal outfit No Captains release ‘Friends Like These’ 
new album**

_“An epic and foreboding intro meshed of bass and violin, the drums kick in and 
so does the coven. With a wickedly pronounced and convincing vocal delivery by frontman
Alex Shonkoff, the necromantic raconteur who unravels the twisted bloody fears of
a horrific night…. With a wickedly pronounced and convincing vocal delivery… Ominous
and menacing” _~ **[Big Takeover Magazine](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fbigtakeover.com%2fnews%2fSongPremiere13thMoonbyNoCaptainsfeatKnightressM1&umid=30cab2e8-9d9e-40b2-97b8-7826afc1fb75&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-0e193be977e1254184277e76cdd1a2d4c980f62f)**

_“Foreboding, adrenaline-fuelled and with steady drive… Effective in their performance,
13th Moon’ feels like a funky alt-metal version of music you could envision as a
modern-day soundtrack to The Wicker Man in an alternate universe. As creepy as it
is haunting”_ ~ **[Amplify Music Magazine](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2famplifymusicmag.com%2fpremiere%2dsan%2dfranciscos%2dno%2dcaptains%2dpresent%2dbrooding%2d13th%2dmoon%2dsingle%2f&umid=30cab2e8-9d9e-40b2-97b8-7826afc1fb75&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-d5e53e2e35691171bd3fdc46e83c982d97c70391)**

Packed with a few surprises and guest performers, strap yourself in and get ready
to go for a ride.

Based in San Francisco, No Captains is made up of **Danny Sando** (bass and back
vocals), **Vince Shore** (drums and percussion) and **Alex Shonkoff **(vocals). 
Influenced by Mr. Bungle, Iron Maiden, Tool, Primus, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage
Against The Machine, No Captains is on a mission to let the music transport you.

“This song ‘2 Left Feet’ is my recollection of what it was like in high school. 
Bullied, insecure, lost… I wonder if anyone can relate to that?? I hope anyone who
hears this remembers something very important. You’ve come a long way, baby. You
are worthy. You are loved. And no one is perfect,” says **Alex Shonkoff**.

Not long ago, the band released the lead track, [**’13th Moon’**,](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fsoundcloud.com%2fnocaptains%2f13th%2dmoon&umid=30cab2e8-9d9e-40b2-97b8-7826afc1fb75&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-ceb8d654f5f61fb8ea8e9063a1f8a574c3ccadc6)
a chilling adventure featuring **Emily Palen** of **[KnightressM1](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.knightressm1.com&umid=30cab2e8-9d9e-40b2-97b8-7826afc1fb75&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-93d0057d7c06d95f55c34a0a9d40a6925ebd21d9)**
with a perfectly haunting performance on violin. This song was inspired by the fact
that 2020 had 13 full moons and classic Halloween and monster movies with their 
characteristic werewolves, mummies and zombies. As the Head Black Cat summons these
creatures to rise up and take over humanity, the bass thumps along in a marching
feel while the drums hold down a booming tribal essence to bring the listener closer
to a trance-like state.

At their live shows, the environment will take you for that ride, offering something
for those wanting to jump around to, letting their aggression out. This is music
to shake your butt to or let you forget about the things that stress you out. No
Captains starts the roller coaster and, because there are no captains, holding on
for that ride is completely up to you.

No Captains is what happens when Alice stops chasing the White Rabbit and follows
the Mad Hatter instead.  This Bay Area based hard funk-rock trio keep their shows
highly energetic, making everyone part of the fun – entertainment is ensured. No
Captains’ live performances are raw and powerful, offering funky rhythm and melody
to dance to, loud and fast to slam around to or something to just close your eyes
and get lost in?

As of December 3, the ‘Friends Like These’ album will be available across online
stores, including [**Bandcamp**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fnocaptainssf.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2ffriends%2dlike%2dthese&umid=30cab2e8-9d9e-40b2-97b8-7826afc1fb75&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-1d62e9154b953956beec2773f7aa0d25202dfa99),
