Catfish & the Bottlemen – Rango (Communion Records)
Release Date: 16th September
Ol' Catfish is back again with
his Bottlemen and these boys are showing no signs of letting up in their audio
invasion of the airwaves. These four Welshman are getting playlisted left,
right and centre and the gig list at the end of this review suggests that
they're gigging hard as well - something I always admire in a band. This
forthcoming single, 'Rango', is another Killers sized indie-pop-rock anthem in
the making with a huge chorus, considerable guitars and a stomping rhythm that
just won't quit. So, just to check, we have two well received singles which are
destined to be future indie anthems, four hungry young Welshman dressed in
leather and an extensive autumn tour of the fleshpots of Great Britain which
coincides with the start of the new University year. If you have daughters I
would suggest either a crash course in lesbianism or some serious chastity
garments. Alternatively, just tell them to go forth and multiply with future
rock stars - what are they going to do with a degree in Psychology anyway?
