Our most popular song. Deep emotion behind and powerful music brings this song together
Rock/Hard Rock/Metal. Catharsis takes these genres and puts them all together to bring in a sound that has become very popular with many fans of the local Melbourne Rock scene. Catharsis comprises of Adam Balaban - Guitars, Tara Catmull - Vocals and Grant Fleming - Drums. These 3 young musicians have come together to bring this unique sound to everyone. Whether it be Adam's awesome ground breaking riffs, Grant's powerful beats or Tara's amazing vocal range, Catharsis will make you come back for more!Band/artist history
In 1999 Grant and Adam wanted to form a band. They started out writing songs, with Adam actually being the bass player. With a few altercations, Adam eventually ended up becoming the guitarist. From 1999-2001 the band took many changes with 4 different bass players and 3 singers coming and going. The boys had almost given up hope until they came across a young girl with mountains of potential named Tara Catmull. The guys knew she would be perfect. After a quick meeting with them all they decided that Tara was to join the band. However, it didn't end up working out at first with her. The 2 boys came to a decision that Tara must leave the band as they thought she was too young to take on the responsibility of being in a band. 6 months went by with heaps of music being written in this time but no new singer to put lyrics to it. They both soon realised that they were stupid to get rid of Tara and quickly asked her to rejoin. She was happy to come back and the 3 of them quickly went into overdrive over 2002 writing as much material as they could. They decided to record their best songs at the start of 2003 but made a big decision to mix the music themselves. They spent a lot of time trying new things with different mixes and at around August of 2003, they finally had what seemed to be their final product. 4 years of hard work have finally payed off for the boys with having to go through so many changes in the line-up and finding their perfect singer in Tara who has also put her hard work and dedication and even her heart & soul into her lyrics, the 3 have finally released their debut album, LOVING TO HATE.Have you performed in front of an audience?We actually dont play gigs at this current point in time but we have actually become very popular with the Melbourne Metal scene anyway due to people passing around our songs.
