First studio album from these roots rockers from Aotearoa in eight years, and it proves quite a remarkably enjoyable work, with the standout tracks ''100'', ''Ain't Gonna Give Up'' and ''Addicted''. ''Addicted'' is really lovely, with their trademark choir backing vocals, some of the lyrics are somewhat politically charged. They have a really big emphasis on vocals and basing a song around a groove. The overall sound is quite reminiscent of Herbs in their peak, with multiple singers, soaring bass lines, rhythmic guitar, horn sections, organ parts and some fine lead guitar work. Katchafire are actually touring Australia later this year, so be sure to venture along to one of their gigs if you find yourself in the vicinity.
