THE YOUNG SONS

The Catch Fire is a newly formed NC band, co-fronted by Mike Mitschele (Jolene/Alternative Champs) and Jon Lindsay (Jon Lindsay, Benji Hughes, The Young Sons). Mitschele and Lindsay began working together in 2008 as members of The Young Sons and quickly began a songwriting and production partnership that resulted in the formation of The Catch Fire. Both staples on the southeastern music scene for work in other prominent bands, fans of well-crafted pop songs everywhere will appreciate the intense focus on a luring melody and radiant lyrics from two of the regions' finest songwriters. With a sound truly all its own, The Catch Fire draw from a deep well of influences from the sugary side of pop (Teenage Fanclub, The Pernice Brothers, The Posies) to the fuzzy, warm and loose end of the scope where one might find Sebadoh, Guided By Voices, Amublance LTD or Cheap Trick. Anchored on drums by John Cates (The Young Sons, Bellglide) and Adam Roth (Bellglide) on bass, the band has just finished its much anticipated debut full-length album Rumormill, which will be released in December 2011 through No More Fake Labels. The Catch Fire is known for its high energy performances and will not let you leave a show without several songs buried deep in your head.
