Cherry Red

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

McCarthy formed in 1985 in Barking, Essex, England and consisted of Gary Baker on drums, Malcolm Eden on guitar and vocals, Tim Gane on lead guitar, John Williamson on bass, and Laetitia Sadier on backup vocals. By 1990, when front man Malcolm Eden decided to put the band to rest, they had released three records and several EPs. Malcolm went on to form Herzfeld while Tim and Laetitia went on to form Stereolab.

Mccarthy's music is characterized by their unique blend of indie pop and political lyrics. Their sound was influenced by bands such as *The Wolfhounds*, *Close Lobsters*, and *The Brilliant Corners*. Despite their relatively short run as a band, McCarthy left a lasting impact on the indie music scene with their catchy melodies and thought-provoking messages.

Although Mccarthy may not be widely known outside of indie music circles, their influence can still be heard today in the works of artists like *Razorcuts*, *Mighty Mighty*, and *Even As We Speak*. Fans of jangly guitars and intelligent songwriting will appreciate Mccarthy's contribution to the genre.

Box Sets

80s indie stalwarts trading in politically energised guitar pop - a true treasure chest of hooks, riffs and leftist messages. Hailing from Barking, Essex, McCarthy are today considered one of the standard bearing politically inclined bands of that era, possessed of a broader outlook and wittier, better observed lyrics than most of the competition. This four disc set comprises the bands three albums (originally recorded between 1987 and 1990), related singles and b-sides, and a sixteen track BBC sessions collection, most of which is previously unreleased. Albums packaged in mini LP replica wallets, and presented - along with a booklet - in a hard clamshell case. Contains countless classic originals and classic live sessions versions. 75 tracks, including 3 indie top ten albums and several indie chart hit singles Also includes 12 songs recorded for the legendary John Peel. 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.
