Review: Catch Fire - The Distance I Am From You EP
The Distance I Am From You is the debut EP from Nottingham pop-punk band, Catch Fire. A release that blends pop-punk vocals and hooks with the melodic catchiness of pop, the EP is sure to make a great first impression for fans of the genre.
The EP begins with the very catchy and melodic “Introspective, Pt I”. Featuring your typical pop-punk breakdowns and lyrics, it’s a cookie-cutter track - but a good one at that. It’s followed by the more punk-than-pop “Bad Behaviour”. With a fast tempo and vocals that are reminiscent of Ryan Key of Yellowcard, it’s a track that should appeal to your early 2000s pop-punk fans. It’s only downfall is that, during the chorus, the drums often drown out everything else, leaving the track feeling a bit muddled at times.
Natives Eyes are an indie-rock band from Carlisle, UK. Melding the likes of Blink-182, Brand New and more to create a sound that’s all their our, this British quartet are ready to break out into the scene. Recently, Legendary Kids Press was able to speak with member Jamie Saggers about the band’s influences, their upcoming EP and the support shown by the BBC.
How would you describe your music to those who have never listened to the band before?
Indie rock, definitely. Imagine a big cocktail of Arctic Monkeys, Blink-182 and Muse - there’s influences from all over!
How did the band come together?
When we wrote our first EP, Illuminations, there was just David and myself recording over the course of the summer. We had a couple of practises with Ben and Mike, and things just began to flow really well.
