Fronted by the brassy, irrepressible Cerys Matthews, Catatonia finally took the British pop scene by storm with hits like 'Mulder and Scully' and 'Road Rage'. The album International Velvet quickly became one of 1998's biggest long players, and the follow-up Equally Cursed and Blessed established them as a major pop force. Cerys, with her raunchy vocal style, was now the sexy and outspoken figurehead of a classic five-piece pop group.

Drawing on first-hand experience, new interviews and years of research, To Hell and Back with Catatonia is a fascinating band biography, and the story of how a fan pulled himself out of depression whilst the main reason for his recovery sank into a private hell of her own.
