'''Ratcat''' are an Australian [[indie rock]] band from [[Sydney]] who formed in 1985. The band is fronted by mainstay vocalist and guitarist, Simon Day. Their combination of [[indie pop]] song writing and energetic [[Punk rock|punk]]-style guitar rock won them fans from both the [[indie rock|indie]] and skate-punk communities. They found mainstream success with their extended play, ''[[Tingles]]'' (October 1990), album ''[[Blind Love (album)|Blind Love]]'' (June 1991) and the single, "[[Don't Go Now]]" (April), which all reached No.&nbsp;1 on the [[ARIA Charts]] during 1991. The band released two subsequent albums that did not match their earlier chart success. Ratcat ceased performing live regularly in the late 1990s; however, they continue to perform sporadically. During their career, much of Ratcat's albums and singles artwork was created by Simon Day.<ref name="McFarlane"/>
