MISS SHIRLEY (Paris)
"* * * * Altamente Recomendable"
Dominik Gelada, MAU MAU BARCELONA
"Uno no puedo sino rendirse al derroche de magnetismo de este trío porteño-bilbaíno, aplaudir a rabiar al acabado de las once canciones de este su debut y enamorarse de ellos."-
Alvaro Fierro, MONDOSONORO
"Cuando un disco "largo" se hace corto, es que has tropezado con algo bueno, y el de Capsula lo es. Rolling Stones, T-Rex, Stooges, Television, Johnny Thunders todo enmarcado de lujo por tres musicos de raza que saben exprimir al limite sus recursos y dejarte con la palabra en la boca. La palabra es "impresionante".
BEASTORAMA (Espana)
" .. Electrizante, sugerente y sorprendentes, ya que desde ritmos del punk mas clasico se lanzan al pop y a la psicodelia cruzada de trallazos guitarreros... Un trabajo en el que nos hacen viajar por un mundo paralelo, alejado de los convencionalismos al uso della industria."
J. E. Gomez INDYROCK (Spain)
"* * * * (4 estrellas) Capsula ha logrado que se hable (mucho y bien) de su primera referencia en todos los medios musicales, puesto que posee temas que por su calidad, sobrepasan las composiciones de grupos ya establecidos"
Carlos Ciurana CAJA DE RITMOS (Spain)
" Venenoso artefacto sonico pergenado por este trio, que se sumerge sin pudor alguno en el powerpop, punk, noise, post rock y hasta psicodelia ...Siguen el camino que abrieron Primal Scream con la nauralidad del que ha crecido con ese discurso, lo que les faculta para transmitir una absoluta naturalidad en el mismo. " -
FESTIVALES DE ROCK
"Capsula, c est l energie punk dans un corpus pop-rock, avec des analyses sanguines qui revelent un abus de Pj Harvey et de Sonic Youth dans le jeu explosif. Comme une ejaculation rapide sur le facies d une jeune innocente..." -
Bester Langs, GONZAI (France)
