Origen

Captain empezó cuando Rik y Mario se conocieron en una fiesta en Cambridge en donde encontraron su pasión mutua por la música. Desde ese punto empezaron a escribir ideas para canciones que tocarían en los clubes nocturnos de Cambridge. Varios músicos rondaron al grupo, incluyendo a Luke, Buggsy y Neil antes de que Alex (bajo) y Reuben (batería) encajaran para crear a Captain.

La banda tiene su base en Londres, sin embargo Mario es de Atenas, Grecia; Rik nació en Londres pero ha vivido en muchos lugares (incluyendo Sudáfrica; Reuben es de Corby, Clare es de Devoy y Alex de Swindon.

Reuben y Rik tocaron juntos en dos grupos previamente: Kid Blue y la banda de culto The Junket. Reuben también tocó con la banda islandesa Cherry Falls.

El grupo estuvo en el estudio de Enero a marzo de 2006 grabando su primer álbum en los estudios Sarm Studios de Londres, con el productor Trevor Horn. Lanzaron al mercado This is Hazelville el 14 de agosto del mismo año.
