Making a mark in the music industry is never easy. And the first few years always prove the hardest for a new band. Forget all about finding your sound, writing songs, and developing a live show. Simply cutting through the huge list of established acts, building a fan base, and branching out from a hometown can take years, and often needs persistence, luck and a whole lot of talent. Fortunately, Catchpenny has proven to have plenty of each.
From headlining shows from Los Angeles to Chicago, to setting record attendance numbers at venues like the Hard Rock Cafe, to having their music used for national tv spots by ESPN and Arizona Jeans, Catchpenny’s resume reads like a band that has been together for half a decade, not a band that played it’s first gig less than two years ago
Their first album, “Chance for a Lifetime”, produced by Michael Bland, was recorded in 8 days and released in December 2005 to critical acclaim. "Soaring, contemporary vocal melodies cut through a dense web of melodic guitars and keyboards, this brotherly harmony sung with big, earnest voices defies their youth while their songs effortlessly embrace it. Catchpenny's debut album hits the bullseye between the ears of contemporary pop radio." --Alex Oana, Mixer, Los Angeles, CA (Olympic Hopefuls, Spymob, Citizen King.)
The new album is a huge step forward. The guys had an entire year to work on the material before heading into the studio and it shows. Exciting things are on the horizon in the near future, but the most exciting thing on their mind is letting an audience hear the new tracks! With that said, Catchpenny is heading off on the "Fresh Air" tour. Backed by the new beverage company Airforce Nutri Soda, Catchpenny will be heading out across the midwest playing college campuses along the way. Keep an eye on the tour schedule and we'll see you in your town!
