Catfish & The Bottlemen are preparing for the release of their second album later this year with new single ‘‘Soundcheck’.
“I feel like the last album was the support band, or even the soundcheck and this one’s the headliner,” frontman Van McCann has said.
The album was recorded in the presence of producer Dave Sardy, best known on UK shores for his work with Oasis on the band’s final two albums.
In July, the band plays the Truck, Kendal Calling and Y Not festivals ahead of the follow-up to debut LP ‘The Balcony‘, of which Live4ever’s review reads:
“A breaking of the previous song structure mould is most welcome in the form of ‘Fallout‘, providing the strongest evidence yet that the band are capable of rearranging the traditional song format with the launch of an exhilaratingly unexpected second chorus.”
“Lead guitars fade out and McCann wryly references his mode of origin in the repeated lines, ‘I was a test tube baby, that’s why nobody gets me’.”
