Our Take

Hailing from the land of fish and chips, Catfish & The Bottlemen offer up their debut album, "The Balcony," a tasty dish of indie rock with a side of attitude. Frontman Van McCann's gravelly vocals may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they certainly pack a punch alongside the band's punchy guitar riffs and catchy hooks.

The album kicks off with the infectious "Homesick," a track that sets the tone for what's to come - a rollercoaster ride of anthemic choruses and confessional lyrics. Tracks like "Kathleen" and "Cocoon" showcase the band's knack for crafting radio-friendly tunes that are sure to get stuck in your head for days.

While some may dismiss Catfish & The Bottlemen as just another Britpop band trying to recapture the glory days of the 90s, there's something undeniably charming about their no-frills approach to songwriting. Sure, the lyrics may not be Shakespearean, but they get the job done, delivering relatable tales of love, heartbreak, and growing pains.

Overall, "The Balcony" is a solid debut from a band that knows how to rock out without taking themselves too seriously. So grab a pint, crank up the volume, and let Catfish & The Bottlemen transport you to a smoky pub in the heart of England. Cheers!
