Cabin Boy Jumped Ship
at The Soundhouse
This is a band you have to see as well as hear. I write about bands quite a lot and one thing I invariably comment on their performance value – or stage presence as I often call it. Did the band bring visual impact to their music? Did they live the music? Well Cabin Boy Jumped Ship is one band I can say “ticked all the boxes.” In their case the music and the performance fit together. If you go to one of their gigs – get down the front and watch them. Their powerful, rocket-propelled music blasts off like a Titan IV and then soars into the stratosphere pushing out thrust for the whole of the set. I am in awe of what they do. Some might call their music metal, some might call it post-hardcore, they call it ‘electronic metal core’ but hey, it’s just great. CBJS is one of the most exhilarating and exciting bands around. Tonight’s performance was earth-shatteringly good.
at The Soundhouse, October 10
They are currently doing a massive tour of the UK – making them probably one of the busiest bands in Leicestershire (Melton Mowbray.) We think they have been around since about June 2013 – at least that is when they put their band page on Facebook.
Watch them on YouTube playing Eyes Wide and Sleep Deprived.
and then see Between The Devil and Me.

MIl has mentioned Cabin Boy Jumped Ship before; we said:
Electro Hardcore metal band Cabin Boy Jumped Ship created a stir on Facebook when they announced the launch of their new video and song on YouTube: Illusions. They told us that the band ‘infuse metal inspired hardcore riffs and hefty breakdowns with a subtle djent influence then mix it all up with a dose of filthy dubstep, euphoric trance and brutal screamed vocals.’ Well, you have to check that out! [Music in Leicester]
So, if you have not seen this band before, make sure you do not miss them next time they play in Leicester. Believe me, it will be well worth it.
