Exclusive: Catcher Share New Single & Video “Comparing Saviors & Friends”

Just days before the end of 2021, NYC post-punk outfit Catcher have shared their comeback single, Comparing Saviors and Friends. Ramping up with sludgey bass and frenetic guitar chords, the track charges forward like an angry bull out the gate, accompanied by vocalist Austin Eichler‘s deep-seated drawl. The single is regarded as one of the first tracks they’d written with the genesis of the band, and is accompanied by DIY video. Catcher have also that their debut album will be released next year.

This year, their first year as a band, Catcher shared four singles, Yesterday’s Favorite, The Skin, Only Advice and Fallen Stones, and played countless sold-out shows across the city, in addition to going on their first headlining tour across the U.S. with fellow NYC rockers Been Stellar. The band are closing out their debut year and welcoming the next by playing a gig with Hello Mary at Mercury Lounge on the 2nd January, tickets are now on sale and can be purchased here.

“I think it’s safe to say it’s a single off our LP we’ve recorded that we feel captures our live energy and stands out as one of our more straightforward tracks. When Austin and I originally wrote and demo’d it out, we felt it was probably a little too poppy, but once we had the whole band play it their way for a proper recording, it ended up becoming one of our favorites.” (drummer Wilson Chestney)

Comparing Saviors & Friends is now available via digital platforms including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music
