Biography

Singer/guitarist Sam Duckworth is the primary member behind indie-emo folk affair Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, a moniker culled from a headline in a computer magazine about a Batman game. Raised equally on electronic, political folksingers, and post-hardcore, he began GC.WC.F in Essex, U.K., in 2004 after fronting a hardcore punk band. At performances, Duckworth is often accompanied by an acoustic guitar and laptop, while his touring highlights include dates with Jos� Gonz�lez and OK Go. He eventually moved from indie label Big Scary Monsters to major Atlantic, which released the debut full-length Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager in September 2006 (then out in the U.S. April of the following year). ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
