Unrest - Cath Carroll

Unrest was an underrated US indie band who should have been massive in the early 90s (of course). But then again everyone was going grunge and Brit Pop at the time so well crafted guitar indie pop was obviously passe.

No matter this is one of their best singles, a tribute to the British singer. Its an amazing stomp of a pop record, you will dance to this! As well as great melodies and a juicy pop feel the song mixes in some sonic experimentation. In many ways this song summed up the late Unrest sound, the band started out in the early 80s very experimental but over time added a pop sensibility whilst still retaining their adventurous side. Great pop art cover too, i'd love this as a blown up print for my wall!
