On Saturday evening, I had an enjoyable night out in Montreal’s Mile End. Catch Your Breath, a band from Austin, Texas, was performing as part of The Broken Souls tour, which included The Funeral Portrait, Archers, and If Not For Me.
Due to inclement weather, I arrived at the venue slightly tardy, resulting in the missed performance of If Not For Me and a portion of Archers‘ set. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of Archers. Their music is undoubtedly a genre I would welcome the opportunity to revisit in the future.
Lead vocalist Nathanael Pulley announced that they would conclude their set with their heaviest song, “Blackmarketmonkeymagic.” The performance was particularly impressive, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
I attended this concert with a specific interest in The Funeral Portrait. I had discovered them on Octane with the song “Suffocate City” and had listened to their album, Greetings From Suffocate City. From the moment they took the stage, performing “Generation Psycho,” I was captivated by their energy and charisma. The band effectively engaged with the audience throughout their nine-song set. While “Suffocate City” was an exceptional track, I particularly enjoyed “Dark Thoughts.”
In conclusion, the performance was a cohesive and energetic experience, characterized by a high level of musicality and audience interaction. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to witness their future performances.
Catch Your Breath finally graced the stage at Théâtre Fairmount for a sold-out audience. I had initially discovered them on Octane with their hit song “21 Gun Salute” and was captivated. Following The Funeral Portrait’s electrifying performance, this show experienced a slight decline in energy, yet it still delivered a commendable performance by these gifted musicians.
Led by their frontman, Josh Mowery, they performed a dozen songs that resonated with the crowd. The set commenced with “Ghost Inside The Shell” and “Deadly,” and I particularly enjoyed “Perfect Work” and “21 Gun Salute.”
A poignant moment in the performance was the dedication of “Good in Goodbye” to Teddy Herrera’s grandmother, who served as a maternal figure to him. Regrettably, she passed away prior to witnessing their live performance, rendering it an emotionally charged experience.
The band effectively showcased their album Shame on Me, concluding the set with “Y.S.K.W.”
It was an unforgettable evening of rock music.
