   About Cantona
Take an expatriate English guitarist with an unashamed pop sensibility, add an exceptional lyricist with a voice that will stop you in your tracks. Build their songs on the kind of tempered rhythm section you only find in America, and you have Cantona; a maddeningly-coherent mix of Pop (classic, power, Brit, and indie flavours), Madchester and guitar driven psychedelia. Expect to hear influences, but this is no tribute band!

Named after French footballing legend Eric Cantona, the band has been building a following in Seattle and beyond through its exciting live act and melodically-original pop songwriting.

Spring 2008 sees the release of Cantona's debut full-length "Hello Boy Friend, Coming My Way?" on New York-based Sizzleteen Records. A collection of excellent pop songs drawn from its huge live repetoire, it's bound to make more friends. In April and May of 2007 the band played a series of very positively received dates in the UK ahead of the release, including a headlining slot at Rough Trade's famous RoTA show at the Notting Hill Arts Club.
