Catbite

About

Catbite isn't just another ska band; they're a vibrant injection of melody and infectious energy into a scene that often takes itself too seriously. Hailing from Philadelphia, the quartet expertly blends the upbeat rhythms of traditional ska with a healthy dose of pop-punk sensibility and the occasional hint of two-tone grit. Imagine if the Specials collaborated with the B-52s while covering Operation Ivy – you’d be somewhere close to Catbite's sonic sweet spot. Since their formation in 2018, Catbite has steadily built a dedicated following, fueled by their high-octane live performances and a string of catchy singles that beg to be blasted from car stereos. Their 2021 album, "Nice One," solidified their position as a band to watch, garnering critical acclaim for its sharp songwriting and undeniable hooks. Vocalist Brittany Luna’s distinct delivery, oscillating between soulful crooning and powerful belting, is a key ingredient in their signature sound. While avoiding the overtly political stance common in some ska circles, Catbite’s music subtly champions inclusivity and good vibes, creating a welcoming space for all. Recent touring and continued releases demonstrate that Catbite is only just getting started. Their commitment to crafting meticulously crafted songs and delivering electrifying performances ensures their place as one of the most exciting and refreshing acts in the contemporary ska landscape.
