We’re an indie folk/rock band from glasgow. We’ve been gigging continuously around Scotland for the last couple years, headlining the likes of King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and supporting other upcoming indie artists like Flight Brigade and Chris Staples. We recently released our debut, self-produced album ‘Swim or Sink’, and we’re inspired by artists like Arcade Fire, Sun Kil Moon, Sigur Ros, The National, and fellow Scots Mogwai and Frightened Rabbit.

They are both students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, studying classical piano and classical accordion respectively. All four members met and began playing music together while at the Glasgow Gaelic School. Due to their diverse musical backgrounds, each musician brings something individual to the band, allowing them to give every set they arrange a unique combination of instrumentation and styles.

 

Sam Begbie & Joe Doyle  Listen Again In Archive Site Link
Sam Begbie is a folk songwriter drawing on an eclectic resevoir of influences. His songs, though sweet and ballad-like in form, are presented with a hard vocal edge which reaches across the Atlantic and finds its roots among singers like Blind Willie Johnson and Howlin’ Wolf. Sam and Joe formed their musical partnership early in 2017, playing a series of highly acclaimed and successful shows throughout Glasgow and Paisley. With Joe’s expressive and driving percussive style the boys are set for great things. Forwards, not backwards; upwards, not forward; and always twirling towards freedom!

Jonny Jack creates naked, hooky, soul pop. Acoustic guitar led music bristling with soul, youthful vigour and big tent pop hooks. From Glasgow and acclaimed by BBC introducing’s Tom Robinson ‘I find the vocal performance absolutely irresistible’ – Jonny and his band are currently working with producer Nick Brine (Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, Seasick Steve) on his debut album and are planning a massive 2018 including multiple major releases and a UK and US tour. A true undiscovered phenomenon, Jonny has performed to sell out crowds supporting acts such as hero Damien Rice, Gabriella Cilmi and The View.
