Catalyst Get a Normal Day Started
8 October 2021 sees the release of rocking duo Catalyst’s debut album. Entitled “A Normal Day” it is release via Radicalis/Membran.
Catalyst hail from St Gallen in the East of Switzerland, a town that has emerged in recent years as a veritable hotbed of fine music. Acts like Stahlberger, Panda Lux, Lord Kesseli and the Drums or even the hilarious Knöppel have opened the flood gates. A new generation of musicians are more than happy to be pulled along. Catalyst are drummer Ramon Wehrle and guitarist/vocalist Dominic Curseri. Wehrle lists John Bonham as his biggest influence, wishes he could one day work with Jack White, and would pack Jethro Tull’s album “Aqualung” for a trip to that lonely island (true story!). Curseri, we suspect, likes his riffs sometimes heavy like Audioslave, sometimes funky like Black Keys, and his lonely album record would be the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” or perhaps the first Royal Blood LP. Either way, Catalyst create quite a racket on a debut album that is also pleasingly varied with plenty of slower parts and even the odd hint of a singalong chorus.
