Catweasels
NME - "Like Arcade Fire forcing the liquidised brains of The Flaming Lips into the mouths of The Futureheads mid-harmony. These eccentric teens are molesting pop music in new, deliciously wicked ways."
NME - "Then, a bit further down the road, over the bridge, round the roundabout and up the street marked 'Devo meets Weezer Avenue', dwell Chester-le-Street pop alchemists Catweasels (www.thecatweasels.com). They're the sound of pure audio action, the (real) Sonic Youth, and their empowering punk-pop is making the cool kids say things like "git canny, like!", in excitable, broad Geordie. You'll be hearing others as this year becomes next. As we said before, there's much more to come."NME - "It might be the way knock-kneed, albino-haired singer Sam Megahy struts through ace opening salvo 'Mark Wasn't Sure' like he's '64-era Mick Jagger. Or perhaps it's that forthcoming single, the swooning, sythn-laden 'This Is Just The Night Time, Andy!', is a song with about 17 choruses, all slightly better then the last. Either way, there's a gazillion reasons why you need the Catweasels in your life. That they come from Chester-le-Street, a small town located between Sunderland and Newcastle, is inconsequential. Frankly, they might as well come from Pluto, because we haven't heard many bands that sound this giddily idiosyncratic from Earth before. There's dabs of the Cure in their most cinematic moments, touches of Devo in the quirky, jerky guitar breakdowns, but aligning reference points to this band is harder than trying to suit and boot a greased pig. They're a squirmy, ever-evolving concern with more ideas, ambition, and melodies than you might think you deserve. Trust us though, you don't just deserve the Catweasels, you need them in your life."
