These Glaswegian rockers – and lovers of a wife-beater vest – release their debut album Earth Measures this month. (See album review, page 83.) Recorded in 17 loud hours, the six tracks fuse various influences – including Black Sabbath, Motorhead and Kiss. After forming in 2008, the original duo played in sundry strange locations, from skate ramps to fashion stores, aided by a 50-foot guitar lead and minimal drum kit. Now, after releasing two EPs on DIY labels, the band have recorded this full album with Marcus Mackay (Frightened Rabbit, The Reindeer Section) and Iain Cook, of Aereogramme and The Unwinding Hours. Expect a bloody marvellous live show. ■ The Banshee Labrynth, Edinburgh, Fri 27 May.
