Polecat was an early band of singer-guitarist Ted Stevens of Omaha, Nebraska.
He is currently a guitarist in Saddle Creek's Cursive and Mayday.
Polecat's first Ghostmeat release was the song "1979" on the Apollo's Salvage compilation released in 1995.
Later that year, Ghostmeat and Lumberjack Records (which later became Saddle Creek) collaborated to release a Sunbrain & Polecat split 7-inch.
The A-side single of Polecat's 2500 Ft of Our Love, "Saddle Creek," partially inspired the name of Omaha label Saddle Creek Records.
