“Catfish Haven possess equal amounts of backwoods authenticity and cosmopolitan flair. They may harvest most of their mojo from south of the Mason-Dixon…but they bleed metropolitan with undeniable garage-grime charm and power-pop arrangements reminiscent of the Strokes…Hunter's worn-in croon wraps itself around lyrics with whiskey-soaked ease.” - Spin

Catfish Haven is the Missouri trailer park George hunter grew up in. Catfish Haven the band is soulful howling over an acoustic guitar turned way up. Hopeful yearning for better days echoed through amps and a drum kit. I first heard these guys 4 years ago when I worked with Miguel’s cousin. Listening to Catfish Haven was like nothing I had ever really heard before. Soul, rock and bluegrass all rolled into one powerful package. They have been compared to future classic rock contenders like My Morning Jacket, Magnolia Electric Co., The Hold Steady, and Lucero. There newest release “Devastator” was one of 2008’s best releases that nobody heard. Here’s what spin had to say:

"Catfish Haven's blues-infused ballads and boozy trots possess equal amounts of backwoods authenticity and cosmopolitan flair. They may harvest most of their mojo from south of the Mason Dixon, but they bleed metropolitan with undeniable garage-grime charm and power-pop arrangements reminiscent of The Strokes" -Spin

Please take a listen and look for great music from these guys in the years to come.
