Catbite - Catbite (New Vinyl LP Sealed!)
POWER POP, GARAGE ROCK AND TWO-TONE SKA CLASH MAGNIFICENTLY IN THIS STELLER DEBUT BY PHILLY PUNK N’ ROLLERS CATBITE.
“This is how you do a modern ska record. For sure, Catbite are influenced by the two-tone champions of yore (The Selector is a particular reference point) but for every upstroke and bouncing bass line the band adds a splash of ‘50s rock, ‘60s soul, or ‘70s punk. It helps that vocalist Brittany Luna is classical trained. She’s clearly in total control of her voice, here, which allows her to focus on feeling instead of technique. A sort of Motown warmth radiates through her performance, even when she’s zapping out with some punk rock spunk.They conjure that same magic that springs from the Trojan Box set while staying present, or perhaps moreso, staying timeless.”
