Catfish Haven is an
indie soul rock band from
Chicago. Their music was described by
Onion AV writer Kyle Ryan in 2006 as "
Creedence Clearwater Revival meets
Nirvana". Ryan goes on in the same article to explain that "Because [Catfish Haven] grew up playing
punk, they mostly avoid acoustic-rock conventions by channeling punk’s aggression and intensity. Few similar bands match the racket Catfish Haven makes, but few bands mix elements of
folk,
country,
rock, and
punk so well."
