Acutones have successfully made a name for themselves through their appealing mix of melodic, head bopping, pop funk tunes.
Sharing their love for pop, blues, jazz and R&B Acutones have crafted a fresh and exciting sound that is continually gaining more appreciation from fans and critics alike.
After causing a stir playing in the smaller venues across Glasgow, Acutones have quickly scaled up to larger audiences playing at locations such as George Square (BBC Blast event), Glasgow Green (Maydaze Festival) and the Carling Academy among others.
They are currently playing around Glasgow and the rest of UK with recent gigs including Argyle Football Stadium in Plymouth supporting Westlife, main stage at the Epsom Derby with Hot Chocolate and the Burns Festival in Ayr.
"A great young band with a fresh and energetic sound.... Could imagine these guys playing to a sell-out crowd" (Critical Evaluation, Carling Academy, June 20)
"Some of the slickest lyrics, electrifying instrumentals and the catchiest riffs you are likely to hear outside of Glastonbury or T in the Park - which is where this fine young band is undoubtedly heading." RK - Kilsyth International Carnival

Hi Guys!! It's great thanks! It is on our latest show - on line now. Get it on iTunes now or through our MySpace page. I am in Belfast on Friday :( so won't meet you guys. Iain (The Breech) is doing the indie DJ set though for me. There's a good vibe so hope you take them by storm guys :) If you have Skype we could maybe arrange a phone interview in the future....
