Feline were an English rock group formed in London, in 1995. They formed from the remnants of a few earlier underground bands such as Flinch and Miranda Sex Garden. Like most female-fronted rock groups of that era in popular music, they were likened to more mainstream acts such as Garbage, and the Cardigans. Lead-singer Grog would never define Feline's music any more than acknowledging those dark elements within it, but admitted to some influences such as Sonic Youth, Iggy Pop, and The Pixies.

Feline were an English rock group formed in London, in 1995. They formed from the remnants of a few earlier underground bands such as Flinch and Miranda Sex Garden. Like most female-fronted rock groups of that era in popular music, they were likened to more mainstream acts such as Garbage, and the Cardigans. Lead-singer Grog would never define Feline's music any more than acknowledging those dark elements within it, but admitted to some influences such as Sonic Youth, Iggy Pop, and The Pixies. A classically trained pianist, Grog wrote the bulk of Feline's material; some of the songs she recorded with Feline were written by her prior to the band's formation. Generally getting good write-ups in the rock press, such as NME and Kerrang!, they released a number of singles, a limited release album and a single full-length album between 1997 and 1998 but were not as successful as their potential showed. Their record company dropped them in 1999 as part of a company-wide roster clear out, and they split, with several members moving on to form Ultraviolet, and then, the relatively more successful Die So Fluid (who have to date released 4 albums with a fifth slated for 2017). The name "Feline" was also used by the Belfast-based band The Feline Dream between 1993 and 1995. The female german singer Swantje Schneemann from Hamburg used the name "Feline" for her first and only single "Magic Carpet Ride"
