I was introduced to Cat Company back in March. They quickly became one of my favorite bands to listen to, and not just because they’re from my home state of Florida.
These guys have really crafted an amazing EP with such diverse influences it makes for an interesting listen every time.
Cat Company is:
Lawrence Brown: Guitar/Songwriter
Sean Dolich: Guitar/Production
Ian Kieth: Drums
Jay Christian: Vocals
Ryan Martinez: Bass/ Photography and Media
“The five of us had known each other through mutual friends, and playing in various bands together for a few years. Lawrence wrote the majority of the music and then reached out to Sean to produce it, while still looking for other members. Sean eventually decided to join in on the project full time, as well as Ryan and later Ian. We tracked all the instrumentals and after a year of searching for a singer, we got together with Jay who laid down all the vocals, and here we are!”
Lawrence was kind enough to sit with us and break down the EP track by track:
“Maroon Sweater” – “This one is about realizing and coming to terms with your insecurities. The lyrics touch a bit on situations like when people see your weaknesses and take advantage of you.”
“Sad Dance” – “This one is based around trying to find a groove within the hardships and curve-balls life throws at you. finding what drives and motivates you to pursue a goal, realizing the obstacles that you’re going to face, and your decision to pursue that goal, or turn away. Its about being caught in between the self doubt and the breaking free of psychological limitations.”
“Kusanagi” – “This one is written from the perspective of an evil talking sword haha. The idea comes from the legend of the Kusanagi Blade. At one point the sword was believed to be cursed and its said that those who have gazed upon the sword are met with a great misfortune. We took that concept and used it to give the sword an evil, demonic personality, akin to that of a really toxic and manipulating person who is obviously bad company, but you keep them around.”
How does it treat Erectile Dysfunction? The cGMP enzyme breaks down by an enzyme in the body basically cialis soft 20mg near the genital area.

It’s tab sildenafil still incredibly difficult, though, to loosen patterns of behaviors and thoughts that have been reinforced by years of repetition. These finished steel cialis generika 40mg structures were then shipped to the Port of Houston and finally they were brought to the bridge site. “Morpheus The Black” – “Morpheus is written from the perspective of a cat, essentially just bitter about being kicked to the curb and ignored by his owner. The song meaning also somewhat picks up on the same narrative laid down in Kusanagi, with toxic manipulative figures in ones life.”
“Firestarter” – “This one was written initially from an outsiders perspective, just seeing this girl who lives primarily with this gloomy, melancholy outlook on life. Like with the first line, you could say the girl is reaching out for help, but ultimately doesn’t receive it, whether its from an external source, or someone at home. You can interpret line “Dont drag me home!” as kind of the other side of the coin to the phrase “home is where the heart is” because for this girl, there’s no heart at home. Lyrically there isn’t a resolve in the story, but it is expressed through the instrumentation. the song starts off slow and dark, but ends with a big funky bang almost to symbolize a victory of sorts.”
