Please Inform The Captain This Is A Hijack

Please Inform The Captain This Is A Hijack were a six-piece post-hardcore band from California that were active from 2000 to 2003 (approximately, there's very little info on this band out there). They released a self-titled EP during their time together and posthumous LP a few years later. The most notable member of this band was Sarah Kirsch, who was active in a ton of other bands throughout the 90's including Fuel, Navio Forge, John Henry West, Bread And Circuits,  Pinhead Gunpowder, Torches To Rome, and many more. Though this project does take a lot of its cues from Dischord acts as the aforementioned also do, Please Inform The Captain This Is A Hijack really stands on its own. It's overtly political in its lyricism, and instrumentally its angular, aggressive, melodic, and experimental. The LP in particular makes heavy use of samples from various sources, making for this expansive, almost outlandish listen, not unlike The Shape Of Punk To Come. Going off that, I also wouldn't be surprised if this band also took heavy influence from Nation Of Ulysses. Highly recommended (particularly the EP), enjoy.
