PREMIERE: Catcher deliver a cathartic shock to the system on their powerful debut album ‘The Fat of a Broken Heart’
You may have noticed, but we like New Yorkers Catcher quite a bit. We broke the news of their debut album in this effusive premiere post of its lead single ‘Behind a Bleeding Heart’. Well, we got offered an upfront stream of said debut album and when we say there’s enough energy here to power …
Album Review: Protomartyr – Ultimate Success Today
My relationship with Detroit post-punk quartet Protomartyr is a complicated one. I first heard of the band in 2015, when they supported Canadian noise punks METZ on their autumn UK tour.
