\"\"<\/p>\n

After two excellent EPs, Nottingham quartet, Catch Fire<\/strong>, have finally delivered their debut full-length platter, which shows further development of their sophisticated brand of pop-punk as they continue to push deeper into their own territory. It is a loosely conceptual record musing on a perceived lack of karma in the world as they wax lyrical on feelings of being undeserving, the ever-pervading spectre of depression and the perception that so many bad things happen to good people. With excellently delivered songs, boasting intelligent lyrics and a fine sense of melody, it is a mighty fine effort.<\/p>\n

The album opens in style with ‘Petrifaction’<\/i>; a reflective slice of pop-punk for the serious that rumbles with a heavy vibe, but delivers a killer hook in the chorus and totes a glorious sweeping guitar sound. It’s followed by the equally classy ‘Malignance’<\/i>, which is kinda like blink-182 at their absolute darkest with a heartfelt air of sadness.<\/p>\n
