The Catch

Nazareth

Gritty Scottish hard rock meets mid-80s polish. A record of road-worn anthems and soulful covers anchored by one of rock's most distinctive raspy voices.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a legendary rock voice finding its groove in the mid-80s without selling its soul.

A resilient and road-worn energy that balances hard rock swagger with soulful reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the driving groove of Road to Nowhere where the band finds a second gear of intensity.
Dan McCafferty's weathered, soulful delivery on the chorus of This Month's Messiah.
The surprisingly lush vocal layering that softens the edges of the otherwise gritty Party Down.
