White Kaps were a Southern California punk band known for their surf-punk energy, goofy humor, and rowdy live shows. They released several records through Fearless Records in the mid-’90s, standing out with songs that mixed skate culture, beach vibes, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. While never a mainstream name, they earned a cult following in the punk scene for their fun, fast, and irreverent style.

I never got to see these guys play cause they never came to Jersey but I remembered their name from the Fearles Flush sampler that I purchased in 98 so I reached out to KC, got him on the Zoom and this is what we chat about

• Bob Becker being their first front man
• Being the first Fearless Records release
• His thoughts on recording vocals for the records
• The weekend tour with Green Day
• Humorcore
• Getting some backlash for their name
• Why they didn’t want to tour so much
• And a ton more
