Brooklyn post punk outfit Catcher have released their latest, and maybe strongest, single yet. “Behind a Bleeding Heart” is unsurprisingly gothic and brooding, but with a piercing whirr of guitars and a bass line so hypnotic, you’re hooked instantaneously. The band toes the waters of cacophony, but need jumps fully into the pool — a delicate balance of hysteria and control.
To get to know a little bit more about the people behind the music, the band shared a few of their favorite things with us. Check out their answers below:
