Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Catherine Wheel, the band that's about as elusive as a cat chasing its own tail. With their latest album "Chrome," they've managed to conjure up a veritable melting pot of sounds and influences that are as diverse as a British pub on a Friday night.
From the opening track "Kill Rhythm," it's clear that Catherine Wheel are not here to play it safe. With its swirling guitars and anthemic chorus, it's a song that demands your attention and refuses to let go. And that's just the beginning.
Tracks like "I Confess" and "Broken Head" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks and infectious melodies, while "Eat My Dust You Insensitive Fuck" (yes, that's actually a song title) takes things in a more experimental direction with its distorted vocals and swirling guitars.
But it's on tracks like "Fripp" and "Texture" where Catherine Wheel truly shine. The band effortlessly blends elements of shoegaze, grunge, and alternative rock to create a sound that is uniquely their own. It's a heady mix of crushing guitars, soaring vocals, and irresistible hooks that will have you hitting repeat before you know it.
In the end, "Chrome" is a bold and adventurous album that sees Catherine Wheel pushing the boundaries of their sound and cementing their place as one of the most interesting bands in the British music scene. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed. Cheers, mate.

About the artist
Catherine Wheel
Catherine Wheel were the unsung heroes of the 90s British indie rock scene, blending dreamy shoegaze with gritty alternative rock to create a sound that was uniquely their own. Led by the enigmatic frontman Rob Dickinson, the band garnered a cult following for their emotive lyrics, swirling guitars, and epic melodies. Hailing from the sleepy town of Great Yarmouth, Catherine Wheel burst onto the music scene in the early 90s with their debut album, "Ferment". Tracks like "Black Metallic" showcased their knack for crafting intricate, atmospheric soundscapes that drew listeners in and refused to let go. As the band's popularity grew, so did their experimentation with sound. Their follow-up albums, "Chrome" and "Happy Days", saw them delving deeper into psychedelic territory, incorporating electronic elements and lush orchestration to create a truly immersive listening experience. Despite critical acclaim and a loyal fan base, Catherine Wheel never quite achieved the mainstream success of their Britpop peers. But for those in the know, their discography remains a treasure trove of sonic delights that stands the test of time. In their heyday, Catherine Wheel were known for their blistering live shows, with Dickinson's impassioned vocals and the band's wall of sound leaving audiences spellbound. And while they may have disbanded in 2000, their music continues to inspire a new generation of artists, proving that good music never goes out of style. Catherine Wheel may have flown under the radar for many, but for those who were lucky enough to discover them, their music remains a lasting testament to the power of creativity and passion in the world of indie rock.
