Cat SFX - Reunite
Cat SFX is the joint band and brainchild of Anglo Italian artist Caterina Speranza and Gordon Mills.
Forming her first band at the age of sixteen, The Vincent Fiasco in the midst of the 00’s band boom, the band played high profile support slots with Interpol and notably caught the ear of Alan McGee who staged the band at his legendary Death Disco Club.
After the band’s split, Cat moved to Milan to pursue a career as a professional songwriter with Sony ATV. Using her budding talents to instead work behind the scenes, Cat scored hits for an array of rising stars, most notably including Italian sensations, The Kolors who achieved meteoric success in their home country with a clutch of smash singles and a four times platinum selling album.
Now back in London, a little older, wiser, and angrier, Cat is ready to take centre-stage again and make her voice heard loud and clear with her own new project, Cat SFX.
Reconnecting with Alan McGee during the filming for his Creation Stories film, McGee was suitably impressed with her new material and the pair struck a deal for a string of releases on his Creation 23 label.
Cat SFX released the debut single Doom Generation earlier in the Summer and now follow this up with Reunite which came out on Friday 30 October.
Reunite see Cat perform with her band, Patrick Murphy (guitar), Jacob Morris (bass) and Gordon Mills (drums).
When asked about the track Cat states:
I wrote Reunite because I’m just so angry and fed up of the way the poor are treated, people being homeless in 2020 while the government line their pockets, people having to use food banks, the hypocrisy of this government, rent prices being so high that it’s almost impossible to afford accommodation, while the rich buy up all the houses and leave them empty, NHS cuts, benefit caps, while politicians claim 100K food expenses, integrated racism, homophobia, and a giant orange clown being the president of the USA.
At just under three minutes Reunite is a sharp blast of indie punk, with it’s piercing vocals and thrashing guitars it is a deliberate cry for social and political change.
Cat lashes out at our current system when she spits out the words “this racist homophobic shit, your whitewashed bible belt critique, I’m pro-choice, you’re no choice, you plead the 5th, I use my voice”.
Reunite is a fantastic track that harnesses the raw energy of the band, with it’s skewered guitars and booming drums and bass complemented by the unfiltered emotion of Cat’s vocals.
