Cat SFX signed to Creation 23 back in January, the label that Alan McGee started up in 2018. Clash Magazine premiered her debut release and the ‘Stay Young’ track‘s Music Video is on YouTube. With a great tone of guitars, ear for a catchy melody and distinct vocals, this artist is showing a lot of promise already and can really find herself collecting a lot of listeners in the near future.
We were very fortune to be able to ask her a questions and look forward to catching up again in the near future!
What are your earliest memories of music and do those pieces of musicstill resonate with you still?
I was about 11 and I saw NIN on MTV, it gave me a massive thrill, from there I became obsessed. Placebo, NIN, Nirvana, Depeche Mood and Marilyn Manson were my teen obsessions, and I still resonate with all of it!
How did you come together with your sound? What would you say influenced you the most?
Years of experiencing and trying different things, finally figuring out who I was and what I wanted to say, and finding the right person to work with, shout out to Gordon Mills!
Your new single ‘Stay Young’ is about how disconnected we are due to the digital era we live in today? How did the song come about and can you talk more about the lyrics.
Stay Young is actually the B-side to the single, that has been delayed due to covid, I just decided to make a little video to cheer people up! It’s about how the digital era has made everything so detached, the whole swipe and go culture, feelings being seen as a sign of weakness almost.
How’s it been being on Creation 23?
Yeah it’s awesome, we signed in January, and then the virus came so, looking forward to getting back into playing!
What are you next plans in terms of music and eventually live shows?
Next will be to release the actual single “Doom Generation” and then play a string of shows.
Do you think the lockdown and the virus will impact your music andwriting?
The music created while we’ve been in lockdown was very good! I write lyrics everyday whatever the circumstances or I go mad, it’s my catharsis, there is literally always a million things banging round in my head.
