McCarthy were a British indie pop band, formed in Barking, East London in 1985 by schoolmates Malcolm Eden, Tim Gane, John Williamson and Gary Baker. They mixed a sweetly melodic style, dominated by Ganes 12-string guitar playing, with Edens overtly political lyrics, often satirical in tone, which reflected the bands far left leanings.
McCarthy are from Barking?? Really? Wow, I always assumed they were from Reading ha ha
