lomtweu '1; mus/ti today This lsSiie: The Summer of Mars
Vera Cruise were a criminally underrated Glasgow-based country rock band, but fear not because they’re back as the Summer of Mars and they‘ve got a belter of a new album, Glaciers, in shops now. So why the name change? Frontman Paul Smith spills the beans.
Another band called Vera Cruise With a big record deal appeared last year. We asked them to change their name and they wouldn't. They Suggested we sue them. because they had more money than us. and we'd lose. We didn't have a lot of choices.
The album was recorded in France. How come?
Craig Ward from Deus produced it. and he wanted to do it there. The studio's iun by a guy who did sound for Big Black. It's a great studio with a very punk rock philosophy.
You and bandmate Dave McGowan are Eugene Kelly’s backing band, and McGowan plays live with Teenage Fanclub. What’s that all about? I think it boils down to being around and wanting to play muSic With people. We're pretty good friends With Eugene. and I think he Just drafted in people he liked hanging out With. Dave can pretty much play any instrument you ask him to. so for the Fanclub that's pretty useful.
Your big dumb riffs and country twangs bring to mind everything from Mudhoney to the Lemonheads. A bit out of step with what’s seen as cool at the moment, aren’t you?
I don't mind being out of step With what's seen as cool. because otherWise we'd be trying to be fashionable. and that's probably the worst thing you can do. (Doug Johnstonel

As Our indie stars become increasmgly media sawy. speWing out rock'n'roll cliches with eyen,‘ record release. its rare to come 80088 a genume. mUSlC- loying son. But in Paul Smith. MaleO Park frontman. we have one — a foppish .ooking. rather dapper chap who chats openly in a lilting northern English accent about hot-u an adOIescent obseSSion with the Smiths and JOy Diyision led to a life as the lead singer of one of 2005's most excmng new indie outfits.
They formed in 2003. after drummer Tom English's girlfriend heard Smith singmg along to Steyie Wonder in a local nightspot and suggested he become the fifth member of MaXimo Park. The Newcastle-based band have Since Signed to Warp records ithe home to Such experimental electronic pioneers such as Autechre and Aphex Twin: and impresswely scored a top 20 hit With their second single release ‘Apply Some Pressure.
Nov. they 're readying themselves for the release of their magnificent debut LP A Certain Trigger. an explosive guitar-synth-pop concoctiOn based around infectious ChOruses and intelligent lyrics and. most imponantly for Smith. a sense of both the real and the magical.
‘l was just thing to capture all those moments that make up everyday life on Ins rec0ro‘. it's about relationships and emotions and making connections. hetner that takes the torn“ of a song about a great night Out or about the end of a lone a‘t'air. Vie ,ust want to draw peOple into our world With music that has a "ice era“. to it as well as a raw energy] Mission accomplished. (Camilla Pial
