Music review: Catfish and the Bottlemen
As this country lurches further towards the right, it makes a dispiriting kind of sense that a small-c conservative band such as Catfish and the Bottlemen should prove so popular.
SECC, Glasgow *
We are living in a bankrupt age where young musicians with no ideas are being influenced by the equally dreadful “landfill indie” bands of the early Noughties. As if enduring the offensively bland likes of The Kooks and Razorlight wasn’t bad enough the first time around.
Listening to their dreary grind of grey would-be anthems is like being strangled to death by a stale pair of skinny jeans.
