their name is actually really clever! Van's mother (Van is the lead singer) was in an accident when she was younger and was told she could never have kids, but despite this, his parents kept trying through IVF and on what they decided would be their last try, Van popped out (he sings about being a test tube baby in fallout). They decided to move to Australia to start a new life, and Van's earliest memories are from travelling round australia. one of these memories was seeing a man playing a washing line of glass bottles like a xylophone and he called himself catfish the bottleman, so van named his band after this as it was his first ever memory of music and links so closely to him and his story. makes my heart melt. also you should definitely listen to sam fender!
Seen him Live, he is FANTASTIC: I so agree: Howl, Make me your queen, Basic, Brazil, Parcetomel, Humongous, Kids don't want to come home, Why do you feel so down. Ect ect ect.....
@@louisebrophy9497 Manchester 02 Acd about a year Ago. Was Fantastic. There is not one of his Songs that i dislike, i love them all plus love Declan Mckenna. Never been a fan of anyone as much as R.E.M. I am sure he is doing a tour again this year, so keep an eye out for Tickets. And enjoy. Me and my bf will be going again.
Anabella Puntano I second this, Blossoms have simply a fantastic energy and sonically manage to masterfully combine modern and vintage elements to a beautiful blend of ear bliss. 😍 Everyone should listen to them
artists for you to listen to: - Royal Blood - dodie - Tessa Violet - slenderbodies - As It Is - Bastille - Joji - BORNS - Portugal. The Man - Neon Trees - Grace VanderWaal
okay we need a part two and here's what you should listen to: • pacifier • rango • anything • tyrants • red (and pretty much every single other song they've put out)
It’s so crazy to see people reviewing Catfish and actually realizing how popular they’ve become. I’ve watched this band grow from back in 2014 till now and I couldn’t be prouder💕 This is so cool
First of all CONGRATULATIONS on your first 100k dude! It's amazing to see your channel evolving and growing. And if you want someone to react to, you definitely have to check out James Smith, James Bay and Passenger. They are much different from the band you've reacted to recently, so I think that it would be nice change. If you wanna react to bands tho I highly reccomend Point North and second part of Waterparks reaction. Much love from Poland and keep going
OKAY COMMENTING BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO BECAUSE IVE RECOMMENDED THEM SO MANY TIMES AND IM SO EXCITED ALSO I JUST SAW THEM IN CONCERT LAST TUESDAY AND MY LOVE FOR THEM HAS BEEN AMPLIFIED SO DOUBLE EXCITEMENT
Name is a childhood memory for lead singer Van. He saw a guy in Australia called Catfish the Bottleman and when it came to naming the band, that’s what he called it but changed it to Catfish and the Bottlemen
You don't need to apologize for not listening to the lyrics. I actually love your channel because I get a different perspective. Like you talk more about the instrumentation than other reactors, so I really appreciate that! Keep doing you!
After twice, who wanted to start singing _Maybe I don’t act the way I used to..._ Edit: well... that was a turn around... 😂 Edit 2: Catfish and the Bottlemen got their name from a street artist called Catfish and the Bottleman, who played drums and glasses at the same time, you can check out an interview that Vann did where he got to see him
you have a great energy to your videos, makes it more enjoyable to watch, would love a part 2 btw. I''m surprised pacifier wasn't in there tbh, definitely check that one out in the next one!
I've just found your channel through you reacting to new hope club (would love to see you reacting to some of their covers on RUclips by the way) and I love cocoon, kathleen and 7 so much I'm glad you liked them lol :) glad I found this channel, you have a new subscriber 🎉
Good to see someone appreciate one of my favourite bands, you should definitely listen to some of there other songs and even the new ones. Earned a sub
Thank you so much for doing this!! Catfish are my favourite band IN THE WORLD. I went to one of their concerts a few months ago and it was absolutely w i l d. Please react to Pacifier next time, it’s my favourite song!! ❤️❤️
wow ok I loved this video because they're honestly my favourite band and watching you listen to them for the first time was as if it was my first time again!! you definitely need to do a part 2, but maybe try with some different ones like hourglass, fallout, longshot (from their new album coming out on April 26th), outside and either homesick/pacifer/tyrants ! (hourglass is a definite tho,,, TRUST me). and you would not believe how insane their live shows are !! their t in the park 2016 set is incredible an I have a lot of videos from them on my channel if anyone else reading is interested. atm I've seen them 7 times and I have 4 more planned this year ! ALSO as for your comments on the drums, they loved the sound their drummer brought to the music so based a lot of songs around the way he played, and the name Catfish and the Bottlemen comes from the lead singers first interaction with music with was a man who played rows of glass bottles called catfish the bottleman!
You need to listen to:
1. Tyrants
2. Pacifier
3. Business
4. Homesick
5. 26
yessssssss
Pacifier is such a banger, I'd like to see him react to Red and Oxygen as well, both are some of my favourites
My favorite has been homesick though longshot and 2all has really been my favs right now
Dont forget red and Glasgow
Outside and Fallout 🔥
Cocoon gives me butterflies which is ironic because a butterfly comes out of a cocoon
hailey rae sammmmeee 😭😭😭😭

Do you have pictures we can see?
Catfish PART II PART II PART II AND PART 3 AND PART 4

EQUAN YES OUTSIDE !!
If you don't think pacifier or tyrants are in the top 5 you obviously haven't listened to them that much
@@callumnewman5238 even earlier things than that!! Bodies, collide, broken army and the original rango and the b side to sidewinder- tortuga!! 👌🏽
Emilio Methven rango and sidewinder unreal I'm annoyed they cut sidewinder from there live sets, sidewinder is my no3
Tyrants is the og song and ASA
their name is actually really clever! Van's mother (Van is the lead singer) was in an accident when she was younger and was told she could never have kids, but despite this, his parents kept trying through IVF and on what they decided would be their last try, Van popped out (he sings about being a test tube baby in fallout).

Bands you need to listen to-
Blossoms
The Amazon's
Royal blood
The kooks
Sundara Karma

jessa i saw them live yesterday and he’s honestly so beautiful in real life
Emily Smith i saw them in feb and he is such an angel, when we all sang back to him he was like ‘thats the best feeling ever’ and i just
“That guitar” That. My friend. Is Johnny Bond
Honestly I think you’d really like Longshot by Catfish!! Please do a part2 and also Courteeners and Blossoms!!
Literally all my fav bands x
liam fray😫😫😫
Courteeners no they're shite but agree with blossoms underrated same with wombats, the night cafe, amazons
@@jackdevitt481 courteeners are just inconsistent. They've got quite a few great songs but just as many shit ones.
Tom’s reaction is what we want from our friends whenever we share music :))
couldn't agree more
13:51 me when i find your comments and they have like 9999 likes

I am sure he is doing a tour again this year, so keep an eye out for Tickets.
And enjoy.

You should react to Blossoms! They're amazing ✨
Anabella Puntano I second this, Blossoms have simply a fantastic energy and sonically manage to masterfully combine modern and vintage elements to a beautiful blend of ear bliss. 😍 Everyone should listen to them

Only got a few good songs.
@@seankilburn7200 yep tbh when i heard them at first i thought i had. a new band to get into but alot of their stuff is kinda weak
@@elijahdaniel8058 honestly think their firdt album and their album “listen” are full of brilliant songs but after that they get a bit crap ngl
The first time I heard catfish and the bottlemen they where opening for green day (one of my faves) they have a special place in my heart.
Catfish are sooo underrated I’m glad this video was made💕
Can you react to Hippo Campus? They're like an indie rock band, but they are really awesome!
omg I love them! Violet is a tune!
Atinuke Ladipo such a good song 😫🤙🏼
I think my favorite song of theirs is “Red”. It’s a bit different from their usual but it gets me PUMPED and I love it!
Still waiting part two... love catb, thats why i come back here very often.
Omg Tom thank you so much for doing this, I requested it last time as I’m literally such a big fan ahah
