DESCRIPTION
UK two CD collection form the amazing yet underappreciated Alt-Rock/Britpop band. Sonic Youth once claimed that The Family Cat was their favorite UK rock band, so it is about time that there was a collection of their finest tracks. This is the first ever Family Cat Best of and features 36 tracks including all the singles, key album tracks, b-sides and 10 previously unreleased tracks. The band, based in London, but from across the South Coast, signed to independent Bad Girl Records following their trademark, blistering live shows. They released acclaimed singles and mini-LP Tell 'Em We're Surfin' clawed it's way up the indie charts. Major labels came knocking and the five piece signed to Dedicated Records, releasing two albums, Furthest from the Sun and Magic Happens. Five Lives Left, compiled by lead singer Paul Frederick (AKA Fred) and bassist John Graves, tracks the band's career from their debut single through to previously unreleased tracks from the album abandoned when the band split in January 1995.
