Michigan-based rockers Vultures of Culture are gaining attention with their mix of alternative, power pop, and heavy metal. Their debut album, Out of the Darkness, includes standout track Catch and Release, which has been drawing listeners in and landing spots on popular Spotify playlists like Rock This, New Punk Tracks, Power Pop Hits, Heavy Rotation, and Alt Rock Road Trip.

The song was written by Luke DeWitt and Andy Patalan. It combines catchy melodies and strong guitar riffs, with influences from Foo Fighters, Panic Channel, and punk bands. After a previous band’s breakup, the song was nearly forgotten, but when DeWitt brought it to Vultures of Culture, it found new life. “The guys loved it, and it just grew into something bigger,” says DeWitt. It was recorded at The Loft and ATP Studios in Michigan.

The band also released a lyric video for the song, featuring a blend of retro-futuristic visuals and animation, with influences from Blade Runner and Back to the Future.

With over 50,000 Spotify streams and a growing fanbase, Vultures of Culture are making a mark in the rock scene. Catch and Release shows they’re just getting started.
