THE CATALYST // http://www.myspace.com/thecatalyst
Born with a buzz. Definitely. These four sweeties hails from Richmond, VA, and since 2002 are simply leaving burnt ground wherever they pass on. Noisy, chaotic, distorted, yet deeply rooted in punk, their music is a heavily influenced blend of what these four guys grew with: think about melvins, jesus lizard, nirvana, black flag, unwound, karp and many, many more bands from the eighties and nineties grunge and punk scenes, all fused together with modern punk and hardcore bands such city of caterpillar, malady, transistor transistor and you can get quite close to what they sound like.
In their own words:
“Stoner-noise-grunge hardcore out of Richmond, Virginia. Stumbled drunkenly onto the scene in 2002, where we were met with limited applause by kids who were confused terribly by us. We believe that if you are truly passionate you can't help but play your tunes with your entire body. Subsequently, after each set we are a completely unapproachable bloody mess. We are constantly touring and desperately seeking contacts around the country. Love us. Please, love us.”
After last year tour with kidcrash they are finally back in Europe, with the full four-piece formation and an amazing brand new album called “swallow your teeth”. Get ready to rock!
