Background notes
Archive material and source history
Please Inform the Captain This Is a Hijack came together in Austin in the early 1990s, with David Yow on vocals and guitar, Rob Crow on bass, and John McEntire on drums. They were part of that city's DIY scene, and their live shows had a reputation for being pretty chaotic. Their first album, 'Yow,' came out in 1993, followed by others like 'Lining Up for the Death Mask.'
Songs like 'Apocalypse Theme Park' and 'Party While You Can M.F.er' give you a sense of their sound, a mix of punk energy and noisy, industrial textures. Yow's vocals were a confrontational force over that racket. The band's lineup shifted over time, but that core trio was there at the start.
They never really fit with mainstream venues or labels, which seemed fine by them. They built a following among people who were drawn to that kind of uncompromising, experimental noise. It was music that felt more interested in provocation than polish.
