Having been supporting the boys since the release of their first single, Armbands, I had since heard their new EP Cogs and Wheels and had been impressed by the diversity and maturity of the songs on the EP and their impressive way with a melody and lyrics.
The band is made up of:
There are limited tickets left for this gig, and at only 3 quid a ticket, plus support from Craig Horne, it is sure to be a treat for local music lovers.
The band has had a lot of favourable press, with articles in national newspapers and Cumbernauld News. As the lads themselves say, “local is king”, so I'm glad I could get them on a show based in Cumbernauld that goes out to a worldwide audience!
Russell and Oliver were both great to interview, being very articulate, amusing and passionate about their music and helping to promote the local music scene in Cumbernauld as well. We were all in agreement about the need for people who live in the local area to promote it.
We had discussions on a range of topics, including the origin of the bands name (taken from a dance that was popular in the late 50s/early 60s called ‘The Madison’ which was featured in the musical ‘Hairspray’), and which the band members all had parts in whilst at school.
The guys are all aged between 18-20, but the songs on ‘Cogs & Wheels’ display a maturity and sensitivity which belies their youth, being a series of songs which detail the start of a relationship and its eventual breakdown.
Check out their Facebook page HERE, catch them at one of their gigs, and listen to the interview which will be broadcast again Friday 1st March 6-8 pm on www.radioactivescotland.com.
