The Catheters display an impressive disregard for the tidy rules of punctuation on their just-released third album, Howling … It Grows and Grows!!!. (Yep, all those exclamation points are theirs, as is that mysteriously placed ellipsis, which they must’ve picked up in its original package from run-on devotee Fiona Apple.) No such luck where their native Seattle’s noise-grunge tradition is concerned: Howling respectfully picks up where Mudhoney left off a decade ago, trampling a well-trampled path from garage-rock to post-punk (not to mention from the stage to the bar). But at least they sound like they’re having a good time. If they didn’t … how boring would that be???
