Yes, that’s supposed to be Al Capone on the cover
On the inner cover, John sings along to his own band, from the pit
CAPONE – What We’ve Shared 7″
CAPONE were a rather short-lived band from Vancouver and like a little brother band to STRAIN. They sounded like a more raw version of STRAIN, without the crushing heaviness. Maybe a mix of STRAIN and UNDERTOW.
Two of the members went on to form BY A THREAD, a band you should definitely check out, they’re still around. Sean from STRAIN is also plays guitar for them.

It doesn’t get more punk than putting a photo with your grandfather on the label. I hope he liked the record!
