Glasvegas
Surprised at no thread on this band yet!!
Heard them for the first time last night on M.Space and loved what I heard. Original, raw, and not an american accent anywhere. Particularly like their covers of come as you are and everybodys got to learn sometime. Anyone recommend the album?? |

Glasvegas are going to be huge, they stormed the festivals this summer and can't wait for the album release.
I reckon by the end of the year they will be a stadium band ! |

I've seen them live and they were amazing, and they have some good songs! Daddys Gone being my favourite at the moment. I haven't got the album but will probably get it soon!
I'm going to see them this week at Connect. Can't wait

More sub-standard indie-pop turd.
It's no wonder there's no decent music anymore when this kind of tripe is pushed as some kind of god send. It's shite. |

The Beatles where trying to emulate motown when they came up with their sound. Zeppelin where trying to emulate american blues. Nobody creates a Genre out of a vacuum. Glasvegas seem to have a mix of indie and phil spector wall of sound - not so common out there

Saw them at Leeds Festival - they may not be original, but they're excellent. The atmosphere was brilliant. Heard an advance copy of the album, and that's really good as well.

They sound a little bit like Editors.

I saw them from the back of a very packed out tent of very happy people. I don't care if they are genre defying, they were bloody good.

I really dislike their sound. I don't think I could handle listening to them for more than one song.

I saw them on Jools Holland a while back and was very impressed. Being Scottish there's a bit of the Mary Chain about them but that's no bad thing. I must say I haven't heard anything else over the past year or so to get excited about, not on this side of the Atlantic at least.

They were on Jo Wiley this morning. I didn't hear it, so can't say if they were any good, but I heard her talking about it afterwards.

They're good, but I'm a bit baffled by all the hype surrounding them. I'll hold my breath til I've heard more, but I haven't yet heard anything that fully justifies the critical acclaim they've received.

They're not bad but The Twilight Sad are better in every way imaginable, except maybe radio-friendliness

"Was that a joke audition from The X Factor?!" They were atrocious. It will still be up on the Radio 1 website. Either Jo Whiley in the morning or Sara Cox (in for Edith Bowman) in the afternoon. |

Their album is out today...available for download on i-choons for £6.99. I haven't anticipated an album as much for a long long time...and it doesn't disappoint. Stunning debut from a band that are going to be massive. I can't get "its my own cheating heart that makes me cry" out of my head
If you are in Glasgow they are at HMV at 18:00 tonight ( signing, not playing as far as I know ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf_YTwlD6aw |
