Catalog Only swims in a deep well of emotional energy and experience--songs emerge from the water and crawl up the walls, but only a few make it out of the well. These are played live with ferocious intensity, in Detroit and across the nation.

Catalog Only is not the raucous noise from the garage or beats from the inner city, it's Detroit music from the basement. It's music that's made when you've been trapped inside for 5 long winter months. While outside it's gray snow and gray skies you stay inside and you play, you play and you write. You write songs that aren't written for commercial appeal or indie acceptance. You write something that matters, songs for emotion, songs to stay warm.

Said to have a powerful melancholy expression akin to earlier R.E.M. projects, the second Catalog Only release, Catalyst, will be available this winter.

"Catalog Only is a really good band from Detroit who have a great mix of rock meets pop with a twist of darkness thrown in for good measure. With non-traditional rhythms and engaging lyrics this group will get your attention and hold it throughout the whole CD. Id say that this band is for you if you like bands like, The Secret Machines, The Cure or R.E.M."
