The constantly rising star of Catfish + The Bottlemen now has a pretty high bar to meet, after frontman Van McCann has revealed that he wants the band to become a stadium act.
The band were speaking to Zig Zag rolling papers on their recent tour, that saw them play venues the size of Brixton Academy.
"We want to be a stadium rock band, so this is a sample of that," said McCann. "This is a smaller version of what you could hear in those stadiums.
"There's no tricks or handshakes, we just literally nip on smash it and try blow everyone's heads off."
McCann has been very clear about the band's ambitions - recently comparing themselves to Oasis, threatening to 'fuck off' One Direction and get them out of the charts, and insisting that they're part of a wave of acts keeping guitar music alive.
