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 Gane's 12-string guitar playing, with Eden's overtly political lyrics, often satirical in tone, which reflected the band's far left leanings.
After a string of singles, including 'Red Sleeping Beauty' and 'Frans Hals', and a track on the NME C86 album, their debut album 'I Am A Wallet' was released in 1987 to much critical acclaim. Two further singles appeared in early 1988, then an EP in February 1989 was followed by a second album, 'The Enraged Will Inherit The Earth', which was considerably less well received. A year later, in 1990, they released a third album 'Banking, Violence and the Inner Life Today', on which they were joined by Gane's girlfriend Lætitia Sadier on vocals. The album suggested a new willingness to experiment musically, and was seen by critics as something of a return to form, but it in fact proved to be their swansong and they split soon afterwards.
Gane and Sadier went on to form Stereolab, while Eden formed Herzfeld while studying Literature.
McCarthy were a major early influence on the Manic Street Preachers who covered 'We Are All Bourgeois Now', which appeared as a hidden track on the CD of their 'Know Your Enemy' album, as well as 'Charles Windsor', which appeared as a b-side on their Life Becoming A Landslide EP. Manics frontman James Dean Bradfield has also covered 'Red Sleeping Beauty'.

Philip Davies
There was once an evil queen who waved the wand and blighted the land
No school no hospital was set in the killing touch of her hand
When a queen evil sat
Will you leave us in peace?
This queen was not alone she was egged on by loads of goblins
Her wish was there command they would weave spells and spell death
"When it hurts," the son sang
"Will you leave us in peace?"
But currently help was nigh because of gathered Welshmen
Gathered round a lovely band from all those who wished to see
Freedom and democracy joyfully the poor people sang
The people sang
Could it be that now better days will come along?
So one they gathered here and all his men who egged him onward
Fell on the wicked palace they rid the land of the queen
Could it be that now better days will come along?
But I see what's clear the evil's dead the queen had gone
The head beneath the crown had changed but all else remained the same
The land was still laid to waste so sadly the poor people sang
The people sang
Could it be that never better days will come along?
