History

Capitol 6 were formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2011 and later that year released their first EP, 'Captain Rehab'.[3][4] In August that year, they released the 'Fever/Henry's Opus' single as a free download on their Bandcamp page.[5] Early members were guitarist and vocalist Malcolm Jack, bassist Matt Krysko, and keyboardist Henry Beckwith. By 2012 they were joined by guitarist Chris Alarcon and Drummer Neil Corbett.[6][7]

In 2012 Capitol 6 released their first full-length album, titled 'Pretty Lost'.[8][9] The album held eight tracks.[10] They released their first single from the album, 'Cold Ride', and included music videos for 'Playing Dead' and 'Just A Puzzle'. 'Just A Puzzle' was featured in the Canadian science fiction programme Continuum (specifically episode 4, entitled 'Matter of Time').

In January 2013, they released another single titled 'No One Came', which featured a music video directed by David Biddle.

On 4 July 2013, Capitol 6 announced on their Facebook page that their final show was on 10 July.
