Editorial Reviews For three years, Black Cat Music has kept Bay Area audiences wanting more. Those lucky enough to catch a live performance from this often-elusive band can count on an experience like no other. With prior bands including the Criminals, the Receivers, Multi Facet, and the Magnetic, all four members know their way around a stage. But it‚s the sum of these four parts that creates such urgent rock and roll. Black Cat Music speaks to the loss, regret, beauty, and passion in all of us.

About the Artist
This is what happens when punk rock grows up. Their unique brand of rock and roll has been thrilling audiences and listeners since the summer of 1998, and this album reinforces that fervent underground popularity. The group has extended the reach of their hard driving, nervous breakdown rock and roll, and at the same time developed their own pained blues. This is not a band whose influences are easily traced. Time spent playing in punk bands certainly leaves its mark. But as is usually the case when it comes to Black Cat Music, nothing is what it seems. Dark but never nihilistic, they are rock, they are blues, they are frantic. They are a portrait of the darker side of modern life.
Album Description
Blending modern rocknroll, garage and punk, Black Cat Music are a force to be reckoned with. They are intelligent trashy punk rock, conjuring images of rock moderne and methadone chic. They draw comparisons to The Misfits, The Clash, Gun Club, Laughing Hyenas, Morrissey, The Cure, Richard Hell, Nick Cave, Social Distortion, At The Drive-In, Murder City Devils, and (International) Noise Conspiracy. But these are mere comparisons. Black Cat Music are their own. Insound.com said "Too clever for street punk’ and too rock for hardcore, Black Cat Music could be the start of something big." "October, November" is Black Cat Music's second album for Lookout, following up "Hands In The Estuary, Torso In The Lake." Recorded with Bay Area producer Jeff Saltzman. Black Cat Music is ready to invade your mind and your heart.
