Sounds LikeA band that wants to pummel you to within an inch of your life, then nurse you back to health again.

"A Joyous, Glasgow based-based assorted-rock seven piece whose Postcard guitars and boy-girl carnival render "You'd Make a Great Ghost" (self released) ***** Single of The Fortnight. It's a glorious Scottish Dog day anthem. And hell, if its shimmering snares and playground fanfares aren't ripe for a Balearic remix, then I'll eat my Fastfood rockers picture disc. (Nicola Meighan) The List 9-23 Jul - Edition 633

On the surface, Be A Familiar are the sound of young Glasgow, about 18 months ago. But, it doesn’t take long for a far more complex sound to emerge. There’s not enough random off mic shouting from bands, we wholeheartedly approve. And, have the conviction of it guys, handclaps are cool. Welding the melodicism of your Camera Obscuras to a big angry scope. It works. Really well. I find myself thinking this is what Deacon Blue would have been like had they not sucked. And I mean that as a good thing. No, seriously. Tony kiernan - Is this Music?

You beat Joy Division by ONE play over the last year in my last.fm charts, making you first.

You win a prize, but it's a bit too graphic for myspace.
