Catfish and the Bottlemen announce sophomore album "The Ride"

Indie rock band Catfish And The Bottlemen have revealed the details and release date to their highly anticipated sophomore album, 'The Ride'. Following on from the incredible success of their début 'The Balcony' which was released in September 2014, 'The Ride' will be released on May 27th 2016, just in time for festival season. The Llandudno band have been hard grafting to get this record out as soon as possible, with having a non-stop touring schedule over the past few years and then writing and recording the new album in LA with legendary producer David Sardy, this hard work has definitely paid off.

'The Ride' is available to pre-order worldwide now, with 'Soundcheck' being an instant track download once you've pre-ordered. The band are due to tour in early April, with all venues sold out in minutes. You can catch them at numerous festivals this summer, including Benicassim (FIB), Governors Ball and Bristol Summer Series. Catfish And The Bottlemen have released their new video for 'Soundcheck', directed by Malia James which you can check out below!
