I spoke to Jenny from Capsule about this last week and she made the point that discussions about the Birmingham music scene (or lack of) tend not to mention Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Godflesh, Napalm Death and Led Zep’s Robert Plant – all of whom had a huge impact on a massive, international musical genre.

If you want to get involved go to Capsule’s Home of Metal page.

Incidentally, Capsule have got a few more events lined up, the next one being Pelican & Torche at the Factory Club on 17 September.  See the Capsule event page for details.
