hey lads. liking some of your work, some other stuff maybe a little "mincey" for my taste but overall delighted to see another up and coming Scottish band!
Reasons for Love has the making of an excellent track! If I could be so bold to mention another Glezga band, but the influence of "wall of guitar" sound would beef up Reasons For Love just nicely.....check out "Cassidy" Im sure you will know of them but we seem em do a set in Aberdeen recently and the massive sound really pushes them into a real shop window!
Always finish on a high! I will defo keep an eye out for your performing in Aberdeen guys! Beef up and I think you have it good lads!
