Ben Stiller’s mark on comedy throughout his career has been rather impressive – from Dodgeball to Tropic Thunder, he’s responsible for some of the biggest laughs of all time on the big screen. Aside from the movies, Stiller has also carved his own path in music over the years, playing the New York punk band Capital Punishment when he was a teenager.
Announced this morning, the band are gearing up to re-issue their first and only album Roadkill, initially released back in 1982. The remastered and expanded version of the album is set for a release through Captured Tracks and will feature two bonus tracks recorded in 1979 and 1983.
You can listen to the track ‘Muzak Anonymous’ here now:
The album saw an initial release through Captured Tracks back in 2015, however, the re-issued edition will be available for purchase on September 14.
The band initially formed in 1979, with Stiller and three of his classmates and according to Consequence Of Sound, it seemed as though the band punched above the influences of your average teenage punk act, noting their influences as including “Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Eno, Chrome and all sorts of proto-industrial music”.
