  • In the last few years Catfish And The Bottlemen have cemented themselves in indie rock history. Grabbing the baton from Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, and Oasis before them, Van Mccann, Benji Blakeway, Robert "Bob" Hall and Johnny Bond have carried on the alternative legacy of big choruses and "pints-in-the-air" singalong live shows. Longshot, the lead track taken from their third album The Balance, does not disappoint. "I had another track that I thought was stronger actually" Van McCann told Radio X's Gordon Smart, "I turned up to the lads and played them Longshot, and they were like...woah."

    Disagree with everyone that is slating their new album..
    for one, Longshot is one of the best tunes they have done! Secondly, the first two albums have gone amazingly, they have a formula that works for them, why change it?

      I agree with everything except that longshot is one of their best tunes and if it makes that list, its definitely more at the bottom of it.

    i love the band as it is, diversity doesn't always mean quality, and quality doesn't always need diversity. They could experiment with something new for their own and everyone's good, but i disagree with everyone who doesn't enjoy the new album.
