Have you ever heard a song and felt so connected to it that you thought it had to have been written especially for you? Well, that’s the entirety of Catfish and the Bottlemen’s discography for me. The raspy howls when singer Van McCann really gets into it; lyrics that redefine the feeling of freedom; guitarist Johnny Bond’s cool, composed stature while ripping solos ‒ it’s sheer perfection.   

A few years ago, when I first discovered the band, I remember coming across one song and then bingeing the rest of the album before doing anything else. I couldn’t get enough of every breath they uttered. Now I want to – no, have to share that with you. You’ve probably heard some of their hits like “2all,” “Kathleen,” “7,” and “Soundcheck,” and I love those songs. However, I wanted to dedicate a post to a deep dive into their lesser-known, yet equally incredible, tunes.
