Catfish & the Bottlemen
Pacifier
Release 24th November, 2014
Leading the charge as one of the country's most exciting new guitar bands, Catfish And The Bottlemen, release epic new single ‘Pacifier’ November 24th on Island/Communion Records.
Led by the enigmatic Van McCann, Catfish And The Bottlemen look set to put their stamp on 2014 with their stunning debut album ‘The Balcony’ not only gaining plaudits from all quarters, but also going Top Ten on its release last month.
"Catfish & The Bottlemen are on the up, with the Welsh indie-rockers being compared to the Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes" - The Independent
"Van McCann and co have produced a hard-to-resist cocktail of buoyant harmonies and fierce guitar" - The Guardian
"These guys could be main stage contenders by next year" - Daily Telegraph
‘The Balcony’ is produced by Jim Abiss (Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian), and written by Van McCann and is packed full of radio favourites, with new single ‘Pacifier’ following the Radio 1 playlisted tracks ‘Cocoon’, ‘Homesick’, ‘Rango’ and XFM, Radio 1 and 6Music playlisted ‘Kathleen’.
The incredibly catchy ‘Pacifier’ comes with a new video in which the band are caught up in a hands-on game of football. After being down in the first half, the team’s spirits are lifted by a half time talk with manager, 6 Music DJ and long time supporter of the band Steve Lamacq.
Watch it here:
Currently on tour in the US, Catfish And The Bottlemen are gaining a reputation as one of the UK’s best live acts. Throwing down the gauntlet this summer, they played incendiary sets at the likes of Latitude, Reading & Leeds, Kendal Calling, T In The Park and Ibiza/Mallorca Rocks. The band have sold out all 18 dates of their UK tour this winter and have recently announced a tour next year in the spring, including two shows at the Shepherds Bush Empire.
