Catfish - Neighbours & Dogs (1993)


Whaddya mean who ? Catfish hail from Vancouver, and slipped in on the end of the alterno-metal fad and like countless others (and I say this countless times) faded rapidly into obscurity. This is a loose sounding record, not exactly sugary, but elements of groove-based sleaze I guess but of much creation. Can't really put my finger on it but slots nicely alongside Six Was Nine, Soul Tattoo, Naked Planet, as being from such an obscure field that such bands never even got out of the starting blocks. Some nice, catchy melodies, charming in its outlook, a few nice ballads, bits of funk and alt-rock...hope you can find it! Comes complete with an annoying cover which seems standard for these type of bands.


6.5/10
