"While we love We Are The Ones we were really excited to branch out further into our creativity and diversify our songwriting," explains guitarist/vocalist Steve Cobucci. "On Captors, listeners will definitely hear a more mature side of WATG with a clearer vision of how we approach our songwriting."

Produced by Andreas Magnusson (Oh, Sleeper, Haste The Day), 'Captors' is a blisteringly heavy full-length debut with the potential to appeal to every variety of rocker – from fans of metalcore to traditional metal to mainstream hard rock. It's an album that – like those of some of the band's influences (As Cities Burn, Thrice, Foo Fighters, Underoath) – avoids pigeonholes and easy labels.


Formed in 2008, WATG began turning heads almost immediately and it wasn't long before they were touring with bands they had grown up listening to on their iPods, recording with producers whose work they appreciated and signing with a label – Solid State Records – they had long respected. With the November 2011 release of 'We Are The Ones,' the band wedged their way into a crowded heavy music scene.
