Meet The Band
Three cats with one mission: bringing 90s pop-punk back to life.
Guitar / Vocal
RIFF
The frontcat with the red guitar who changes the vibe from the first note.
A blue tuxedo cat guitarist and vocalist. Rocking a teal hoodie with a red electric guitar, Riff is the kind of player who shifts the entire atmosphere with that opening chord. Master of melodies that feel bright yet bittersweet, always opening up the sky when the chorus hits.
Bold on stage, sensitive in rehearsal. Favorite moment? When a quiet half-time suddenly explodes into double-speed intensity.
Loves: Red guitar cases, streetlights at night
Can’t Stand: Awkward silence
“Let’s play it one more time.”
Bass
BEAN
The quiet one who drives the groove. Silent mood-maker with low-end power.
A black-to-navy cat bassist. Green knit beanie pulled low, expression cool and collected. But make no mistake—Bean’s the one who creates the pocket that makes everything lock in. Thick, gritty bass lines hug the guitar riffs while laying down the groove that defines each track.
Not big on words, but when a great take happens, you’ll catch that spark in the eyes. Favorite sound? “That slightly rough, picked low-end tone.”
Loves: Late-night sessions, one-take victories, orange bass
Can’t Stand: Long explanations, dragging tempos
“If it grooves, we win.”
Drums
PATCH
Looks gentle, plays precise. The drum cat who makes songs fly.
A cream-colored calico drummer. Right ear in orange, left ear in slate gray-to-navy, with matching patch markings on the forehead. Rocks an orange hoodie and looks soft and fluffy—until those sticks hit the kit and suddenly everything tightens up.
Loves those satisfying double-speed choruses and the single hit that shifts the entire break. Actually the most meticulous of the three—notices immediately when the tempo drifts even slightly.
Loves: Click tracks, tuning, perfectly aligned fills
Can’t Stand: Half-measures, vague countoffs
“One, two, three—NOW.”
Our Story
Born from a love of 90s melodic hardcore and pop-punk, CATNAP is a virtual band that exists where nostalgia meets the future. We’re three cartoon cats who believe the spirit of bands like Green Day, The Offspring, and Bad Religion should never fade away.
Our music is raw, energetic, and unapologetically catchy. We write songs about everyday struggles, fleeting moments, and the kind of youthful rebellion that never really grows old—even if you do.
We don’t need nine lives to make great music. Just three cats, some distortion pedals, and a whole lot of heart.
