Kate Fagan

Kate Fagan — co-founder of the ska band Heavy Manners, and the frontwoman of the punk group BB Spin — took the Chicago punk rock scene by storm in the early ‘80s with her self-released single “I Don’t Wanna Be Too Cool. ” The song became the best-selling single ever by a local artist at the legendary Wax Trax! Records, and today, Captured Tracks is thrilled to present an expanded, re-mastered edition of I Don’t Wanna Be Too Cool as a full-length vinyl album, featuring four unreleased, ahead-of-their-time tracks.
