| Description | “Soundcheck” takes listeners through the bumpy relationship Van McCann has endured with his long-time girlfriend. The pressures of fame and stress of being away from home strains their love. British indie rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen made a charming return with “Soundcheck” as the first official material since their 2014 debut, The Balcony. The song later appeared on The Ride, the band’s sophomore record. I feel like the last album was the support band, or even the soundcheck, and this one’s the headliner. - Van McCann, NME |
