OK, we know The Beatles are from Kansas, yet the point remains ~ KatsüK is one of the most prolific, interesting bands to emerge out of the States in many years. Roughly translated in Seminole as “the Center of Creation,” KatsüK is an earth-punk-folk-rock group creating deeply impactful and emotive works of art, both timeless and without border. Their style is unmistakable in the release of their new album, Zero Point, produced by Jeff Dahlgren, renowned for his work with French icon Myléne Farmer, Wasted Youth, and Warner Music Group. Currently on college radio rotation throughout the U.S. and beyond, KatsüK is setting up a national/international tour in support of Zero Point and will be bringing their highly electric and theatrical live show to festivals and major venues everywhere with a sound that is simultaneously refreshing and familiar.
Based out of Fort Worth, Texas, KatsüK was formed in 2008 by Daniel Katsük, also well known for his voiceover and soundtrack work on Cartoon Network. What makes this album unique is that Zero Point courageously shines a light upon the issues facing our modern world in a manner that is stirring and clear, boldly challenging the current paradigms.
Music is changing, people are changing; the desire for deeper communication is becoming mainstream, exhibited through art, media, relationships, and belief systems. It is strongly influencing the caliber and perspectives of the groups emerging in the music scene today. Artists like KatsüK are helping to lead this new Renaissance by delivering poignant, provocative, and fervently relative messages in tune with the challenges facing us all. During a performance recently, KatsüK performed the first symbolic same-sex marriage in the red state of Texas, and the band is continuously dedicated to bringing these Causes to the forefront of our everyday lives in support of the global community as a Whole. It is more than a conspiracy; KatsüK is an inside job.

“Incredible, a real opus. Easily the most ambitious album of the year! Zero Point is a masterstroke of sumptuous melody, panoramic sonic and lyrical themes, and world-class instrumentation. Most of the 15 tracks are monsters: sweeping and epic but never bloated or grandiose.” ~ Fort Worth Weekly
