British indie rock outfit Catfish and the Bottlemen formed in 2007 in Llandudno, Wales, with members moving to the seaside town from as far away as Sheffield and Newcastle to complete the line-up. Pairing a staunch D.I.Y. ethic with a gritty, garage-laced sound, the Bottlemen gigged constantly throughout 2012 and 2013, and delivered their full-length debut, The Balcony, in 2014. The album debuted at number ten on the U.K. charts, yielding the hit single "Kathleen." In 2016, they took home a BRIT Award for British Breakthrough Act. Also that year, they returned with their sophomore album, The Ride, which hit number one in the U.K., and reached the Top 40 in the U.S. The Balance arrived in 2019, produced by Jacknife Lee.
