Catholic Action announce second album with lead single "One Of Us"

"One Of Us" is the first new offering from the Glasgow four-piece since their 2018 singles "New Year" and "Little Girl".

Vocalist and guitarist Chris McCroy says of the new single, ""One of Us" was written as a direct response to what I see happening in the UK - a country ravaged by poverty and a disintegrating social fabric of increasingly isolated and intoxicated people. A neglected group spun in circles by an uncaring billionaire-owned media, (mis)led into pointing the finger at one another as opposed to those truly responsible for this situation. A depressing but common problem in 2019…sound familiar?"

He adds, "This song is a comment on the aggressive divide and conquer politics that has kept this status quo of radical inequality in the UK firmly in place. Keep the people divided, drugged and distracted. Racism, sectarianism, vodka, sexism, PornHub, classism, Remain or Leave, heroin, Netflix…Whatever works – just don’t let them rise above their station."

Catholic Action's second album Celebrated by Strangers will follow on from their SAY Award nominated debut In Memory Of.

The new record was produced by McCrory (SPINN, Walt Disco) at Hermitage Works in London and Shady Lane Studio in Erskine, and mixed by Rich Turvey (Blossoms, Cabbage, The Coral) at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool.
