Katie Bates & Ben De La Cour, Cherry Bar, 3rd September 2022 by Mary Boukouvalas
Katies latest release, ‘Until The Day Dies’ EP was a record based around the themes of self-love and self-doubt – with punchy gritty tones and sweet pedal steel, bridging the gap between country and rock. Ben’s voice renders raw emotion with authority as he recounts tales of suspicious characters, lost love, murder, bank robbers, suicide and mental illness against a backdrop of a dark and haunted America.
