Originally released back in 2000 and a fave w/ Not Lamers back then, this has been out of print for some time but the band found another box so woop it up. Their new one Insurgence Alert, don`t` miss. Here`s what we wrote about them back in 2000: Canada keeps delivering sleeper pop bands who tend to surprise with new twists and ways to work the formula so many Not Lamers can`t get enough of. Hailing from Vancouver, BC, this band work up a sweat similar to The Shambles, Dodgy or Supergrass but you`ll hear tons of Cherry Twister, as well so fans of these band listen up. What breathes here is strong, simple pop melodies with a sleepy 60`s mod-vibe and spirited chord-driven and anthemic guitar arrangements bring to mind Oasis or recent Travis or Lightning Seeds. Another words, a strong British pop sound is prevalent and `jolly good`, we say, as they do it better than most! "These 4 guys make perfect pop songs...absolutely spectacular"-INDIEcator. "he group states in their online biography that all of the group consider The Beatles as their biggest influence. That would be an understatement. Unfortunately, they sound very much like a modern version of The Beatles. The vocal ability of the group sounds just too much like Paul, John, and the other boys from Liverpool. If you add in the modern instruments and sounds of the current Brit-pop sound, and the past sounds of the Beatles, you have The Rye Catchers. As well, they mention Sloan as one of their Canadian influences. Not surprisingly, you can hear the strong Sloan influences. Sloan considers The Beatles one of their main influences as well. This adds up to The Rye Catcher not being very original at all. The Rye Catchers seem to be a group that combines Sloan and the Beatles. All this is not a negative here, for The Rye Catchers."-Canhedian.com. Very Highly Recommended, maties!
