Somewhere between the highway & the railroads of the Moot (Pretoria, South Africa), smothered by its suburban industrial coma, came a one man army (Andi Cappo), filled with punk screams, stoner basslines, pop grooves & screeching guitars. Caution Boy was born to tear your eardrums from your skull. It isn’t all mayhem though -  Caution Boy also has a sensitive side, which can be seen during acoustic shows and on the acoustic album Misty Bedroom Blues (2017).

What started as a one man karaoke from hell, singing to his original pre-recorded backtracks, or playing solo sets acoustically, has evolved into a full live band that is set on setting souls ablaze with pure energy, passion & enthusiasm. The live band consists of Treveshan Pather (bass), Archie Kinnon (drums) & Andi Cappo (vocals & guitar).

Caution Boy’s music is all original and independently written and recorded. In the beginning, all recording was done in a tiny living room space, using mostly borrowed equipment from friends. Now the band records live.

Despite the relentless recording schedule, Caution Boy has heartily destroyed stages at numerous venues across South Africa, such as The New Moon Pub, Aandklas, The Bohemian, Buck ‘n Hog, Railways Café, Aces ‘n Spades, Xai Xai, Jarr Bar, The Grind Bar, Thrashers, Sowaar Bar, Smoking Kills Bar, Sundowners and many more. 

Caution Boy have performed with South African music heavyweights, Fuzigish, Desmond and the Tutus, Ruff Majik, Van Coke Kartel and Pollinator; as well as Fat Wreck Records’ band Teenage Bottle Rocket (US), The Dumpies (US) and The Black Dahlia Murder (US) at RAM Fest 2020. In 2021 Caution Boy did their first Eastern Cape tour and played at Misty Waters Festival in Secunda.

Caution Boy’s 10th studio album, “Alligator” is out now on compact disc and across all major digital platforms, including Bandcamp.
