Siluria (The Dudly Bug)
The Silurian period is a geological period 420million years ago. Wrens Nest in Dudley, an old  Industrial Revolution limestone quarry, has revealed some amazing fossils from this period and of  the hundreds of types of fossils found there the most sort after is the trilobite and has the nick name 'Dudley Bug'. During the Silurian period Wrens Nest used to be shallow, warm tropical sea conditions with lots of strange plants, creatures and critters,  swimming about. There is a sea ripple bed that has been fossilized in a rock face that was caused by what would have been a huge tropical storm ...amazing to think that actually happened 100’s of millions of years ago for us to see now…

release their single ‘L.U.V.’

Catholic Action are a product of Glasgow’s famously fertile music scene but have won fans across the UK thanks to their peerless pop masterpieces. After a run of rapturously received gigs in their hometown the group are ready to release their long-awaited debut release for Luv Luv Luv Records (Spector, Only Real, Splashh, The Garden)

The four-piece band are centered around the singular talents of vocalist and guitarist Chris McCrory – already known among key taste-makers as the drummer in Casual Sex, another of Glasgow’s leading musical lights. 

McCrory, still only 24, became a full-time producer and recording engineer straight from school after establishing his own studio. While helping many of the artists in Glasgow’s burgeoning DIY scene, McCrory is also an exceptional songwriter in his own right and his group quickly became the most talked about in town.  

Catholic Action were formed in 2014 by McCrory alongside Jamie Dubber on bass and Ryan Clark on drums. Andrew Macpherson later joined as lead guitarist to add extra sparkle to the group's own brand of glam noise rock.

The group were personally invited by Alex Kapranos to support FFS at their sold-out show at the famous Barrowland Ballroom last August. Just days later, Carl Barat was in touch to ask them to open for The Libertines when they played Glasgow’s Academy the following month - an invitation to open on Swim Deep’s UK tour in October 2015 followed. 

L.U.V. was recorded at the Green Door Studio in Glasgow by Sam Smith (Casual Sex, Mother and the Addicts). The single was mixed at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool by Rich Turvey (Blossoms, Clean Cut Kid).

Catholic Action will perform live at: 

Live at Leeds festival 30 April
The Great Escape Festival 19 May
The Great Escape Festival 20 May
Belladrum Festival 5 August
Lodestar Festival 3 September
