Catfish And The Bottlemen: The Balcony

One listen to Catfish And The Bottlemen’s debut album “The Balcony”, and you will undoubtedly be transported back 10 years to 2004, when garage rock was at the forefront of indie rock success and shaggy-haired-leather-clad frontmen were a dime a dozen. The big glaring difference between Catfish And The Bottlemen and all these other bands? The songwriting is there. If you’re looking for poetry, metaphor and angst….look elsewhere. If you’re looking for hard-hitting rock, conviction, and no-holds-barred lyrics, you 100% want to check out “The Balcony”. With a sound that is so evolved and impressive, it may be hard for listeners to grapple with the idea that “The Balcony” is in fact their debut album. The 11 tracks on this album will undoubtedly leave you singing a little louder, driving a little faster, and walking with a little more swagger. SINGLE: Kathleen STANDOUT TRACK: Pacifier
