British rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen formed in 2010 in Llandudno, North Wales, and consists of the lead vocalist Van McCann, lead guitarist Billy Bibbly, bass guitarist Benji Blakeway, and drummer Bob Hall. To get their name out in the world they took the traditional route of playing as many shows as they possibly could, resulting in over 100 shows within an 18 month period starting in 2012.
In 2013 they signed to Communion Records and released three singles; “Homesick”, “Rango”, and “Pacifier”. This year, they signed to Island Records and released their hit single “Kathleen”; all four songs can be found on their EP, appropriately titled “Kathleen and the Other Three”, which you can purchase on iTunes here.
This summer, on top of releasing their newest single “Fallout” and playing the Governor’s Ball in New York, Catfish and the Bottlemen will be performing at over 30 festivals in the UK/Europe. Sadly, no Canadian dates have been announced by the band but now that they’re on our radar, you better believe we’ll announce it as soon as they do.
Until then, you can enjoy the lyric video for their latest single “Fallout” featuring clips of Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber here.
Or if you’re more of an Ewan McGregor fan, their lyric video for “Kathleen” consists solely of clips of the beautiful man because, as they put in the description “EWAN McGREGOR IS THE BEST HUMAN ON THIS EARTH!” [I kid you not, it’s actually there if you look] You can watch that video here.
