About
A veteran of California's punk and indie scenes since the early '90s, singer/songwriter Joey Cape first made his name as the frontman for seminal punk outfit Lagwagon. A prolific and highly collaborative musician, Cape also served as guitarist for the supergroup Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and led the alt-rock group Bad Astronaut through a series of albums in the front half of the 2000s. As a producer, he's worked on albums by the Ataris, Nerf Herder, and Ridel High. Starting in 2008, Cape launched a solo career, shifting into a more introspective acoustic style which he continued to develop on albums like 2011's Doesn't Play Well with Others and 2016's One Week Record, the latter of which was part of a series he launched from his own studio where artists are invited to his house to complete a full album in a single week. Meanwhile, Cape continued to work occasionally with Lagwagon, who reunited in 2014 after a nine-year gap. By the decade's end, he was busy producing new material for both projects and released the 2019 solo album Let Me Know When You Give Up, followed a few months later by Lagwagon's ninth LP, Railer.
