There is more than one artist named Catchpenny: 1) CATCHpenny from Minneapolis, USA. 2) Catchpenny from Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. 1) CATCHpenny, USA. Minneapolis band Catchpenny delivers a really good album in the la la la land between modern rock and powerpop. The album sounds like a mixture between Jason Falkner, Switchfoot, Francis Dunnery, Spymob, and Semisonic. GREAT stuff. Best tracks? Well - if you don?t get a vibe of "Can?t Let It Get You Down", "All these questions"and "If You Ever Leave Me" youre probably a deaf man. Brilliant album. -Par Winberg, Melodic.net

... the new CD by local trio Catchpenny, led by hunky brothers Christian and Zachary Schauf, is full of polished, bouncy, harmony-loaded pop-rock...
-Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"...A trio comosed of singer-guitarist brothers Christian and Zachary Schauf and lead axman Eric Raum, Catchpenny specializes in slick, polished modern rock ... its newly released second disc, From Where You Are, the band has the talent and the chops to merit a little love from the fickle Gods of Radio."

Early 2000, Provincial New Zealand, Napier. Five musicians were united in an effort to play something different than the distorted barrage of rock that generally plagues the rest of New Zealand.
