Debut single ‘You Suck’Â out now
Catapult are a Brighton based, new wave, post punk three piece with savvy pop songs, angular guitar riffs and quirky hooks. Taking influence from the likes of Gang Of Four, The Cure, The Clash and Squeeze, the band have been stedily building a sold army of fans around the UK over the last six months, including a slot at the Great Escape Festival and a forthcoming performance at Brighton’s Beachdown Festival.
Originally from Skegness, Sam and Seb moved to Brighton where they met up with Dom Parry on their first day at college down the pub! Dominic Parry aged just 17 delivers cool and sophisticated bass lines, Sebastian Skillings aged 20 thrashes and trashes the kit, whilst Samuel Thopre also aged 20, sings about the things you do on a Saturday night.
The band are currently on tour - check out the gig section for details.
