Review
Holy shit, Catch Your Breath's 'Shame On Me' is a wild ride! This Texas quartet's debut album is like a sonic gut punch that'll leave you gasping for air - in the best way possible.
Let's start with 'No Evil', the opening track that hits you like a freight train. It's a glitchy, aggressive beast that sets the tone for the whole album. But don't think these guys are one-trick ponies. They've got range, baby. 'Dial Tone' is a prime example - it's catchier than a cold in a kindergarten class, with Josh Mowery's vocals taking center stage. It's the kind of track that'll have you humming along, even if you're not usually into the softer stuff.
But let's talk about the heavy hitters. 'Dying On The Inside' and 'Cycles' are where Catch Your Breath really flex their muscles. These tracks are a perfect blend of ear-candy hooks and distorted guitars that'll make your neighbors think you're hosting an exorcism. And 'Mirror'? That's where things get really interesting. They've thrown some rap into the mix, and it works so well you'll wonder why more bands aren't doing it. It's like they've taken every genre they love, thrown it in a blender, and somehow created something that doesn't taste like shit. - Chase
