Our World

Kapland is a half Basque-half British pop band. It was created by Alexandra Piñeiro-Tew and Koldo Uriarte. Some time after Willy Granados (guitar) and Iker Uriarte (Drums) joined the band. The project started because of their need to tell stories, all of them in English, mother tongue of the lead singer (Alex).

They had no intention of being clasified in any particular style, but it is true that there are so many bands that have influenced Kapland. you will especially find they are close to what could be called British Pop Music.

Koldo and Alex had previously worked in many tours with different national and international artists . It was working in one of those tours, back in 2008, when they met and found out that they had a very similar way of understanding music.

Kapland was previously called Tew for 3 years, and started on a 13th of November... the same day they wrote the song "13th of November". From then, they started to write more and more songs in between the gaps their jobs allowed them.

In 2010 they recorded their first demo album which they just handed over to friends and family.

In 2011 they recorded their first EP, called Chapter One, with the unconditional help and generosity of Angel Celada (Drums), Joseba Irazoki (guitars) and Iñigo Goldaracena (Bass), as well as of Mikel F. Krutzaga (engineering, mixing and mastering).

Chapter One was released on the 8th of May 2012, and contain 4 tracks which describe the firstt episode of Kapland´s story.

Kapland es una banda formada por Alexandra Piñeiro Tew y Koldo Uriarte, a la que posteriormente se unen Willy Granados (guitarra) e Iker Uriarte (batería). El proyecto nació por la simple necesidad de transmitir historias, todas ellas en inglés, idioma de origen de Alex, la vocalista.

Sin intención de enmarcarse dentro de una estética concreta, son infinitas las músicas y los músicos que han influenciado a Kapland. Se nota especialmente la influencia del pop británico.

Kapland, proyecto antes llamado Tew, nace un 13 de Noviembre del 2008, el mismo día que componen la canción "13th of November" y a partir de ahí empiezan a surgir poco a poco otras canciones a las que van dando forma en los huecos que les dejan sus respectivos trabajos.

En 2010 editaron su primera demo que repartieron entre la gente cercana y en 2011 grabaron su primer EP, "Chapter One", con la entregada y generosa colaboración de Mikel F. Krutzaga (grabación, mezcla y masterización), Angel Celada (batería), Joseba Irazoki (guitarras) e Iñigo Goldaracena (bajo).
Chapter One se materializó el 8 de mayo de 2012 y contiene 4 temas que describen el primer capítulo de la historia de Kapland.
