  • Description

    80s indie stalwarts trading in politically energised guitar pop a true treasure chest of hooks, riffs and leftist messages. Excellent value and a must have for anybody with an interest in the 1980s British independent and alternative scenes or politically minded guitar pop. McCarthy disbanded in 1990 and two of its members went on to form the wonderful Stereolab. Other members have gone on to work in popular music and the media, and the band often receive exposure from Manic Street Preachers, who regularly cite their work as both beloved and influential.
