Editor's note

Catfish And The Bottlemen's garage-tinged indie rock

A Welsh band that built its name through live energy and straightforward songwriting.

For their early, scrappy energy, 'Pacifier' still hits. 'Cocoon' from 'The Balcony' captures that garage-tinged radio sound they nailed.

They came up playing shows around Wales before their 2013 EP 'Kathleen' started turning heads. The single 'Pacifier' from that EP got them noticed, and their debut album 'The Balcony' earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Songs like 'Cocoon' and 'Kathleen' got regular radio spins, mixing indie rock with garage and Britpop sounds.

They formed in Llandudno in 2007 and built an early following through live performances. After 'The Balcony' in 2014, their 2016 album 'The Ride' was noted for a more introspective tone. Their third album 'Outside' arrived in 2018 and debuted at number one in the UK.

Archive material and source history

Catfish and the Bottlemen formed in 2007 in Llandudno, Wales, with Van McCann as the frontman. They built an early following through live shows before releasing their debut EP 'Kathleen' in 2013. The EP's single 'Pacifier' gained traction and helped push them toward a wider audience.

Their first full album, 'The Balcony,' came out in 2014 and was well-received, earning a Mercury Prize nomination. Songs like 'Cocoon' and 'Kathleen' from that record got regular radio play. The band's sound at the time mixed indie rock with garage and Britpop influences.

In 2016 they released 'The Ride,' which some noted had a more introspective tone. Around that period, McCann's onstage behavior and comments drew criticism from portions of their fanbase. Their third album, 'Outside,' arrived in 2018 and debuted at number one in the UK.
