Catbite have teamed up with Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump for a
new single, Tired Of Talk.
The track is taken from the ska band’s forthcoming six-song release Doom Garden
– which is due out on May 9 via Bad Time Records – and hears the FOB
legend lending both his iconic voice and his trumpet skills.
“When we were writing, we felt this song would be the perfect
opportunity to introduce a guest vocal,” says guitarist Tim Hildebrand. “At the
top of our list of people to ask was Patrick Stump. Collectively, we are all
huge fans of Fall Out Boy, and specifically Patrick’s vocal style. We knew it
was a huge stretch, but we found a way to contact him, shared the song,
and crossed our fingers and toes. By the miracle of ska, we got a reply from
Patrick saying that he loved the song and would love to sing on it. He went
above and beyond, and we are ecstatic on how this turned out!”
“Catbite
is one of the real greats of this generation of ska music,” adds Patrick. “A
wave that hasn’t even hit the beach yet. I was so amped to be asked to work
with them and I can’t wait to see where they end up.”
