- Additional Info: Short-lived but highly influential, Capn Jazz helped transform genres from a deeply underground punk subgenre into a more widely accepted subset of indie rock. Capn Jazzs main contribution was stylisticthey helped shift emos always-elusive musical focus from post-hardcore prog-punk to an arty but more accessible punk-pop. Their discography was as scant as it was rare, but that very obscurity helped build their underground legend through word of mouth, until a double-CD retrospective was finally issued several years after their breakup. By that time, most of the members had moved on to other, better-known bands, most notably Joan of Arc, American Football Owen and the Promise Ring, which helped spread Capn Jazzs influence far beyond their original audience.
