Catfish & the Bottlemen

Despite this breakout band's silly name (one can't help but think of Hootie & the Blowfish), the Welsh indie-rock foursome are well on their way to becoming the next big thing. Chances are you've probably heard their hit single, "Kathleen," on alternative radio stations already. They recently released their debut LP, The Balcony, full of big riffs and emotional lyrics packaged in an appealing poppy sound. Catch them in L.A. at the Troubadour as they kick off their tour.
