Biografia

McCarthy were a British indie pop band, formed in Barking, Essex, England in 1984 by schoolmates Malcolm Eden (voice and guitar) and Tim Gane (lead guitar) with John Williamson (bass guitar) and Gary Baker (drums).[1] Lætitia Sadier would later join the band on vocals on their third studio album Banking, Violence And The Inner Life Today.[2]
They mixed a sweetly melodic style, dominated by Gane’s 12-string guitar playing, with Eden’s overtly political lyrics, often satirical in tone, which reflected the band’s far left leanings

History

Eden, Gane and Williamson met at Barking Abbey Comprehensive School. Gane was originally a drummer, but was initially taught to play guitar by Eden, who also taught Williamson the basics of bass.[2] Eden and Gane were fans of punk groups such as the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Buzzcocks, and they covered their songs in small gigs as teenagers.[2] Baker joined in 1984, and with the new line-up deciding on the name McCarthy (a tongue-in-cheek reference to American politician Joe McCarthy), they released a self-financed first single, “In Purgatory” in 1985.[4] The band were signed by the Pink Label, releasing two further singles “Red Sleeping Beauty” and “Frans Hals”.[3] The band had a track included on the NME C86 album (“Celestial City”).
Their debut album I Am A Wallet was released in 1987.[1] The album was virtually ignored by UK radio programmers, except for BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel.
