Del Amitri

Del Amitri are a Pop-rock guitar band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980. They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name - early Del Amitri did not want to be classified and their existence was kept secret from the rest of the school.

Suplex The Kid

Formed in May 2008, Suplex The Kid are one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Glasgow scene. Citing a love of post rock and garnering comparisons to Explosions In The Sky, Suplex The Kid are aleady challenging their sonic heroes with an increasing reputation. Prolific as well as perfectionists, Suplex The Kid have recorded 3 mini albums in the past year with their last release receiving favourable reviews.

The Plimptons

Plimp was born in 1999 when the unrelated Adam and Martin met in high school, attempted to form a Smiths tribute band but very quickly realised the songs were too difficult to replicate. Two weeks later they were peddling the newly invented Plimptons sound in the incredibly hard Motherwell pubs where most muso types would fear to tread, where shouts of “Gie's a blast of Wonderwall, mate” were omnipresent. The fact the band remained un-murdered is testament to their quality.
