The Band#
Kid Kapichi is unfiltered British punk, formed in Hastings in 2013 by Jack Wilson (vocals/guitar) and Ben Beetham. Joined by Eddie Lewis (bass) and George MacDonald (drums), they built an explosive live reputation before breaking internationally — personally invited by Liam Gallagher to play the Royal Albert Hall in 2022, supporting Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, and touring with Nothing But Thieves.
In May 2025, Ben and George amicably left the band after over a decade. Jack and Eddie continue with a refreshed lineup: Lee Martin (guitar, ex-Saint Agnes) and Miles Gill (drums, ex-ROAM) — mates from Hastings since their teenage years. Kid Kapichi 2.0 is born, more determined than ever.
If you like: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, The Clash, Demob Happy, Nothing But Thieves, Pixies.

Fearless Nature (2026)#
Released January 16, 2026, Fearless Nature marks a turning point. Written during a period of personal upheaval for Jack Wilson, the album is more introspective than its predecessors — the writing once fueled by anger is now driven by vulnerability and fear. A pivotal, therapeutic work that opens a new chapter without losing any of the band’s punk force.
“Meeting the energy of The Clash with the melancholy of the Pixies, modernising them at every turn, Kid Kapichi reveal themselves in a radiant new light” — Rolling Stone
