Press Reviews Linda Cook (Localmusicstore.com) reviewing "Still Like to Rock and Roll" (our latest) There's no catch to this band. What you think you're going to hear is exactly what you're going to get: Solid, rockin' original tunes written and played by folks who have performed together for years. The Catch, hailing from Virginia, is made up of four guys who obviously have done some growing up together. You can tell by the name of their CD, "Still Like to Rock ... and Roll!'' that they've been around for a while, and, judging from the lyrics in their songs and the liner notes, not to mention their great music, they have day jobs and family obligations outside their performance dates. One of their best numbers -- shades of Seger!-- is "Still Like to Rock." Written and sung by the whiskey-voiced Bob Crerie (we also hear him on electric guitars and acoustic guitar), this features nicely wrought guitar work and a beat that's bound to get their listeners on the dance floor (there's even a nifty piano solo a la The Killer). Other tunes, such as Milton Bullock's "Check is In the Mail" and "Keep on Movin''' have a definite blues-rock groove that most likely was influenced by the likes of the Doobie Brothers and the Guess Who. Bullock and Crerie wrote all the songs and sing lead on their respective works, which are delivered deftly and must be absolutely wicked to enjoy live. Their rock flows into blues in numbers such as "Mr. Understanding," which boasts a blues-tinged, Joe Walsh-esque heavy beat and even a little talkin' blues, with a thoroughly enjoyable organ riff at the end.The lyrics deal with loves lost and found, such as the words to "Hurricane Girl": "Batten down the hatches. Hold on tight. You're gonna have a hurricane girl tonight." In "All You Got to Say is Yes," Bullock talks about a relationship between two unmarried people who "have fun without a complicated series of vows." I liked the whole CD. But when I play it again, I have to hear the shortest cut first. "My Baby She Left Me'' is a true, unadulterated rocker with hotternhell guitar licks and sizzling keyboards set against an infectious backbeat that will have me dancing around my living room again. These guys can really play, and their music is mostly no-frills, which is a definite compliment. Sometimes, as with The Catch, less is more. The band simply delivers great vocals and instrumental work that isn't mucked up by special effects or high-falutin' orchestral additions. It's what rock and roll was meant to be: Hard-driving, honest and fun. I still like to rock and roll too, guys. Thanks!
