[edit]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 (in episode 4, entitled 'Matter of Time').
In January 2013, they released another single, 'No One Came', which featured a music video directed by David Biddle.
