CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD made their live debut on the 31st of October 2009. Now, almost five years later, the band is releasing their second album "Before Plastic" via Dead End Exit Records on May 23[sup]rd[/sup].

"We've been recording this album, on and off, for a year so it feels great to finally have it out" says bass player Robert Majd. The album features eleven tracks of "melodic kick-ass Rock" as the band like to call it and some exciting guest appearances by Bruce Kulick of KISS-fame and Mats Karlsson (220 VOLT, THE SUMMIT).

" CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD have guts and glory written all over them. Their melodic vocals and guitars make them stand out above the rest in the genre of AOR Rock" says Bruce Kulick.Two music videos have been released to promote the album. The upbeat "Somebody" and 80's flavored "Bad Girl" which features a TWISTED SISTER "I Wanna Rock"-inspired theme. "Before Plastic" has already been getting great reviews in the press with Sweden Rock Magazine saying "Ill-mannered and charming hit seeking rock like it was made by KISS, Billy Idol and Pat Benatar - together and in their prime".

CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD recently made a triumphant return to the UK, playing the Hard Rock Hell Festival in Wales and opening for Graham Bonnet (RAINBOW, MSG, ALCATRAZZ) in Wakefield. They are celebrating the release of their new album with a big homecoming show in Stockholm at Bryggarsalen on the 28[sup]th[/sup]of May and are planning another trip to the UK at the end of the summer. "We love playing live and the reactions have been great in the UK but we wanna play anywhere and everywhere" Robert says with enthusiasm.

The band's first album was hailed in the press with tons of great reviews all over the world, from Australia to Brazil, in magazines such as Classic Rock, Classic Rock AOR, Sweden Rock, Fireworks, Power Play, Black Velvet and Red Hot Rock. It was also named one of the "Albums Of The Year So Far" by legendary journalist Geoff Barton of Classic Rock.

"There's always pressure making the follow up to your debut album and we didn't have a lot of time to get the material ready," explains Robert "but the writing happened quite effortlessly due to the great chemistry we have and I think everyone who enjoyed the first album will embrace the new songs as well, We're very proud of the album and I already look forward to making another one", Robert says with a smile.

CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD have a very distinct and unique sound and in today's music scene that's kind of rare for a rock band. Most reviewers have trouble comparing them to other acts, while the band themselves think that they're sort of a mix between KISS and JOURNEY.
