I recently came across this band catalyst… and I’m beyond stoked that I did! These humans kick out some epic Emo that hits me deep in my soul and makes me happy to be alive. Real talk, this is the kind of music I need to hear right now because I’m dealing with seeing my mother age, which is making me think about mortality and how important it is to love those around us while we can.
As I blast this record, I also can’t help but think about how despondent I felt around 2001, and how I could not see any light when it came to my existence. What helped get me out of my negative mindstate was bands like Sunny Day Real Estate or Red Star Theory.
Hearing songs like “forget it i’ll figure it out” or “is this all that we’ll be,” I’m reminded that with sound lays the power of healing. Bands like catalyst… are a looking glass into emotions that might want to be seen but should also be examined and explained. I want this band to know that know no matter where I am in life, Emo will always be cathartic to me more than any other type of music! Also, I really hope they come to Vancouver because their shows look INSANE.
