Catch The Young Releases their First Full-Length Album ‘EVOLVE’

‘Catch The Young‘ have released their first full-length album ‘EVOLVE‘ marking a significant milestone in the group’s career since their debut in November 2023.

Within their own genre of ‘youth pop-rock,‘ the band has been exploring multiple sounds and messages surrounding the core topic of ‘youth.’ Through ‘EVOLVE,’ Catch The Young builds on that topic and explores the various facets and emotions of youth that are not spoken about enough, including emotional wounds, anxiety, growth, and hope.

“Catch The Young’s first full-length album, EVOLVE, is finally out! We have prepared a lot for this album, so we’ll showcase our best selves that we haven’t shared yet, and we hope you look forward to it. We also promise that we’ll visit and meet many fans overseas this year!”

– Sani, Leader and Bassist of Catch The Young

The 14-track album was created and produced by the members of ‘Catch The Young’. The title track, ‘Amplify,’ blends new-wave influences with the band’s signature sound, and reflects their determination to continue pursuing music despite challenges. The album also features solo-focused tracks from several members, including Sani’s ‘28 Hours,‘ which explores the difficulty sleeping and feeling lost, as if one is living on a different day cycle from others, Namhyun’s ‘I’m Already In Love With You,‘ which introduces a romantic shift in tone, and Junyong’s ‘Reperio,’ encourages the listeners to “feel the moment,” find a new version of themselves, and enjoy the rhythm without any fear.

Another key track, ‘지금 내 앞에 서 있는 네게 (To You, Standing Before Me),’ expresses the band’s gratitude to supporters who have been part of their journey. The music and words share the band’s hope that their listeners will smile happily with them, and the band also promises more days together. The album concludes with ‘The Young Wave (2026 Remix)‘, a new version of the band’s first instrumental track originally released in 2025.

“We’ve been waiting to release our first full-length album, and now we’re very excited, thrilled, and nervous about it at the same time. More than anything, I’m glad that Catch The Young has improved further as a band, and I hope you listen to our new album a lot!”
