There are at least five bands with the name Catapult.
- The most popular being a Dutch glam rock act formed in 1973 in the Dutch town of Leiden. They were put together by Golden Earring drummer Ceasar Zuiderwijk, who runs a music management agency beside his work as a musician. They had a string of hits during the early 70s, such as Let Your Hair Hang Down, Teenybopper Band, Seven-Eleven, The Stealer, and Here We Go. The band broke up in 1979 and the members reformed later as a number of other well-known Dutch acts, for example: The Monotones, The Videokids and Rubberen Robbie.
- A three piece from Brighton, UK. Their debut single ‘You Suck’ was released on South Coast Sounds in August 2008.
- A now-defunct shoegaze/indierock band that used to be on the legendary blackbean and placenta records in the late nineties. they put out a cd called ‘architecture of a year’, one 7” and appeared on various cd-compilations. After their split, drummer Sean Dack joined the swirlies, and appears to have directed a video for korn…
- A three piece experimental band from California. Forged in the furnace of rock, Catapult emerges to shake the foundations of the universe. Their debut track, Nabana Stahappenance, will catapult you to that happy place with its spellbinding lyrics and pleasantly ethereal vocals—not to mention the bitchin’ guitar interlude that is quite possibly the best since Jimmy Page left the world speechless with his classic solo on Stairway to Heaven. Their small but dedicated fanbase eagerly awaits the next masterpiece that the West Coast trio will bless their ears with.
- An indiepop band from East London who released an 7” and a 12” on the September Records label in 1987
