Having
created huge waves with their two 2016 singles ‘L.U.V.’ and ‘Rita Ora’, Catholic Action begin
2017 with this massive new single, which has already received love from BBC Radio 1, when the
band performed a live session at Maida Vale studios on 30th January, including
new single ‘Doing Well’ - Listen. The rising
Scottish upstarts have received incredible support at BBC Introducing, who will
be hosting the band at their showcase at this years SXSW.

tour, beginning on Thursday 9th February at Think Tank, Newcastle.

by Chris McCrory, already a leading light in Glasgow’s fervent music scene as a
producer and former member of Casual Sex, Catholic Action have impressed
tastemakers and audiences alike with their patented brand of post-punk and glam

along the way.
