Catfish and the Bottlemen
arena-filling sonic outlook has cemented their place amongst Britain's most successful bands of the 21st Century. Signing to Island Records in 2014 after years of relentless touring, their debut LP The Balcony surged into the UK Top 10 and helped them scoop British Breakthrough Act at the BRITs before scoring their landmark #1 album with The Ride. Since then, they’ve amassed over one billion streams, two million album sales and are closing in on 10 million single sales. On stage Van McCann possesses unique magnetic energy and is considered one of modern rock’s great live frontmen. In the five years since releasing their debut album, they’d sold over half a million tickets, and have played to over 2 million people.
In September 2024, the band will release a special 10-year anniversary reissue of The Balcony. The album will be available on limited edition CD, cassette and LP formats, with inverted white artwork and six bonus tracks. Fans can also access a limited edition 7” box set featuring the full album plus ‘Hourglass’ (Ewan McGregor version) and rare song ‘ASA’, available on a 7” again for the first time since the original pressing 10 years ago.
