 Published on September 12th 2003
Chicago has yet another band to bring to the table. This band- Holden’s Catch, is a four piece rock/punk band originating in Orland Part Illinois. Recently, many of Chicago’s local bands from the suburbs have had a repetitive and formulaic pop punk sound such as Fall Out Boy, The Plain White T’s, Lucky Boys Confusion, and even Spitalfield’s new album. I am glad to say that Holden’s Catch is a band hailing from the suburbs that will not entice you with continuous power chords and clap along beats.

i like The Ghost. Is that cool or what? it a shame these boys are now widowed. will they re-marry or will they be good catholics and stick it out on their own. I think not these athiest fucks will probably be hitting on a new band soon and attempt to seek new boyfriends. both hc and their label are great fucking guys. everyone should honestly pick this up, or at least listen to the mp3's they have up online. You fucking kids don't get it... you see... music is all about relating... relating your personal experiences with the experiences of the artist making the music. Everyone... everyone, you know... thinks it's so cool to like a band that no one's ever heard of, but the simple fucking fact is... is that the less a band is known the less they are able to relate to the fans... that or they have super bad promotion. so who the fuck cares if 5 or 500000000000 people like a band as long as you can relate to it in a personal way then fuck the naysayers. fantastic cd and guys, but they owe me 8 million. i checked out the mp3's and what can i say, good stuff Great people, great band with an amazing sound, definatly buy their cd cuz it rocks the hizouse and these boys will make it big. Wow, I guess you told me. sick boi is a douche i know who he is hes a creepy stalker and no one listen to him :: john dc :: p.s. he likes avril lavigne A rubber? What are you, a fucking limey? Please. wow, surprised to see a local band on this..but this is a really good cd. My band played with these guys a couple months ago, and they rocked. Excellent musicians. Not even my style of music, but you had to apprieciate it. Good stuff, buy it. first off, sickboi is a rubber "Maybe a Kevin Smith reference....?" thank you very much for the positive review, it is really appreciated. take care. - johnny / holden's catch sickboi is cool...sorta like skater boi great music, great people, fucking buy it. Sorry. They were going to be called "J.D. and the Hermits", but that name was taken, dude. Maybe a Kevin Smith reference...? What a stupid band name. If you want to make Salinger references, could you be a tad more creative? Also, lucky boys confusion is definetly not "another pop punk band", at all. yes it comes from 'catcher in the rye' I feel that this comapact disc is by far one of the best I have ever heard. The lyrics and music are enticing. I couldn't ask for anything of better quality. I will definately attend a Holden's Catch performance, hopefully soon in a nearby concert hall. Also, I can't wait to tell my local record shoppe dealer to start carrying Holden's Catch LPs. The mere thought of this makes my knees quiver. In retrospect, hearing about Holden's Catch is probbably one of the best things that has ever come in my directions. That's ME, signing off. Just curious, is the band name a "Catcher in the Rye" reference? I could have sworn the narrator in that book was named Holden. actually they're a band i have 10 bucks that says MYOPIA is in this band Finnaly recognizing a band in the chicago area that dosen't suck and isn't your dime a dozen pop punk. Deff check these guys out live if you get the chance. They got a show next Friday with Divide by Zero and other Get Around Records bands "The Lost Boys" and "Missing Autumn" go to www.holdenscatch.com for details. Oh man, it's good to see these kids finally getting the attention they deserve. A killer cd that keeps you hooked the whole way through, much better than those cookie cutter pop punk bands that plague the radio. These guys dare to be different in a scene full of followers. Make sure you catch a Holden's Catch show, no doubt you'll be as impressed as I was. Great album and Great Guys. . .definetely pick this ep up Ger around...thats a new name, and a great spelling job by the reviewer... hc is a buncha fuckers i want them all to die a bloody horrible death, especially johnny he sucks, he gets so christian slatered |
