Flycatcher - Wrench (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

Most bands need an entire lifetime to finish their first album. For Flycatcher, it took two full-lengths, one buzzy EP and seven years of retooling to arrive at what’s now their official debut.

“It’s funny,” says frontman Greg Pease from the passenger seat of the band’s tour van. During our video chat, Pease is quick to explain just how much Flycatcher has changed since work on Wrench technically started in 2018. Here though, he pauses, as if still struck by the realization. “Flycatcher turning into twangy, folky, down-the-middle rock is how we ended up touring with Oso Oso. I thought it would’ve been the opposite.”

Pease and his three fellow road dogs in Flycatcher happily reside between Asbury Park and Jersey City. But up until now, staying close to their roots was clipping the band’s wings. “I was holding on really tight to the emo stuff,” he reflects from behind dark sunglasses.

“The reason we called it Wrench is that my relationship with music was very strained,” explains Pease. When asked how he untangled those knotty emotions, our conversation traces back to his first love. “What made me like music in the first place is hearing my dad play these loud, vibrant, exciting records,” he recalls, going on to cite The Kinks, Prince and Californication. “Wrench is the kind of album that I want to hear. I wanted it to feel fun and relaxing. I wanted it to feel like rock music.”
