Boasting an impeccable track record for success, Communion are also tied to a certain sound.
Launching the careers of countless acoustic strumming troubadours, the imprint is pegged to tender, folk influenced balladry. However a new wave of signings are expanding that template, adding some serious volume to the mix.
Deap Vally you'll know already, but newcomers Catfish And The Bottlemen are a step further. A rock band in the true, classic, sense the band met whilst at school in Wales.
Recently supporting The 1975, Catfish And The Bottlemen have developed a partnership with producer (and Communion co-founder) Ian Grimble.
Adding a new sense of bite to their music, upcoming single 'Homesick' captures the sound of a band on the rise. Opening with a choppy, urgent rhythm, the tension builds until erupting into a vast, epic chorus.
It's out on June 17th but you can watch the video first on ClashMusic.
