Why see Catfish And The Bottlemen?
The New Generation Of British Indie Rock
Hailing from Llandudno, Wales, Catfish and The Bottlemen eschew the rolling hills and mild-mannered folk music of their upbringing for a sound that's distinctly more rock'n'roll. The quartet have just released their debut album The Balcony and with their sights set on conquering the States, much like their counterparts and fellow British Indie Rock exports Arctic Monkeys, they're headed out on a nationwide tour!
The fledgling quartet gives a bluesy edge to their tales of young love and lust lost and won, in upbeat anthems that make it impossible to stand still when listened to. Mosh pits spring up at every gig, while crowd-surfers often ride the euphoric waves of the audience. Keep an eye out, because these lads are set to fill arenas soon!
