Captain Foam - No Reason / Will There Ever Be a Time
Posted on July 18, 2008 by hammertime
This heavy little 45 comes from the great state of Ohio, I have to assume it dates from the early '70s based on the sound and the lyrical content of the b-side. All I know about Captain Foam is that the guy was billed as a one man band, I guess he played live with a taped drum track? I don't know, but from the looks of the picture below I'd imagine it was LOUD.

He had a monster drummer, and they were billed as Captain Foam and the Doctor. Don’t know how they did what they did back then without all the gizmos we have today, but the 45 dosen’t even come close to their live show!
Captain Foam’s previous band was called Lord Ritchie and the Mariners. Then he became Captain Foam the Doctor (the Doctor being the drummer with psychedelic painted drums, double kick and all). They were both from Canton, Ohio, and I did some gigs on bass with Ritchie back in ‘68. I was very happy to find this site, however I’m sorry to see that the B-side of Captain Foam’s record is still so relevant today. Peace now, Louie

A few years back I was in contact with an OH guy who had unreleased tapes of Cpt Foam and promised to send it my way, but nothing ever happened. “No Reason” is SUPERHEAVY.
