Noisy, exciting, and maybe even *whispers* a little experimental. Cable released two albums, When Animals Attack (1997) and Sub-Lingual (1999), as well as a mini-album Down-Lift the Up-Trodden (1996) on Infectious Records. John Peel was rather fond of them and, on the back of a Sprite advertisment, their fifth single 'Freeze the Atlantic' reached number 44 in the charts. Also notable in their short career was a remarkable gig at Brixton Prison (later released as the 'Live at Brixton Prison EP' (1998)) which offered an andrenaline fueled, almost riot inciting rendition of Johnny Cash's 'San Quentin' amongst highlights from their own canon. The band split in May 1999 after being sued by their own manager. Which was nice of him.

Drummer Richie Mills was briefly a member of not-so-good rock outfit Sunna, guitarist Pete Darrington has joined 'Derby's first supergroup' Hudson Super Six, whilst guitarist Darius Hinks was signed to Graham Coxon's Transcopic label.
