Catfish & The Bottlemen announce details of new album, “The Ride”

Ahead of a huge summer UK tour and massive show at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl, Catfish & The Bottlemen have announced details of their new album, The Ride, Gigwise reveals.

The 'Hourglass' and 'Kathleen' indie heroes return with the follow-up to the massive-selling debut, The Balcony. They say their album consists of songs that were 'made to play live'.

“I feel like everybody started thinking too outside the box trying to be arty and different," says frontman Van McCann. "We wanted to stay inside the box. I always say if you can play it on an acoustic guitar and win over a bar or a kitchen even of rowdy people… then you’ve done it… that’s how I see song writing."

Set for release on 27 May, The Ride tracklisting is:
