Chicago-based trio Catfish Haven play raw, soulful, and melodic indie rock that tips its hat to both the chilly North and the hazy South with equal parts passion and peril. Named after the Missouri trailer park where frontman George Hunter spent his formative years, the group, which also includes bass player Miguel Castillo and drummer Ryan Farnham, released its electrifying debut EP, Please Come Back, and its first full-length, Tell Me, on the Secretly Canadian label in January of 2006, followed by Devastator in 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger
