The Front – Me and My God (Diffusion)
''There’s not a lot of subtlety on display here but for what they lack in technical prowess, Ayrshire’s The Front more than make up for in vitality. I was beginning to get a bit fed up with the slashy guitar part after a couple of minutes and then they briefly opened up into something a little looser – deftly done and without getting lost in a long, dull solo – this displays real skill. Let’s hear some more'' - Tasty

review by dead earnest----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Front were supercharged and ready to rocket. Playing a hi-energy brew of punk ’n’ roll, they fired off songs that exhibited elemnts of everything from The Pistols and Bowie to Discharge and Oasis, with hints of Angelic Upstarts and Sham 69 in between. Tight and powerful yet strong and dirty, theirs was a set that smoked as the taut lead vocals hurled out the songs to a backdrop of guitar fire and rhythm thunder. Mixing almost sleaze-rock with seventies punk, they took no prisoners and playeed a blinder.
THE FRONT is a 4 piece indie punk rock band from Kilwinning, Ayrshire. The lads have known each other for years living in the same council scheme in kilwinning called “The Blacklands” founded 3 years ago in the T in the park campsite and the band have being playing gigs non-stop for the last two years.
Starting off as a 5 piece in band, but about a year ago The Front decide to chance style and lose 1 of the guitarist to make the push, and haven’t looked back -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the summer months the band have played some local festivals getting live gig play on live on air on west fm (ayrshire) and Jim Gellatly show X-Poser on XFM Scotland picked the band as his cadet band on Monday the 21st of august playing “why” --------------------------------------------------------------DF concert ask the band to be the main support band for recently signed band clocks (island records) on their Glasgow date of their first nationwide tour. This lead to the band been offered their first date in king tut’s supporting The Dials (subways support)
Since then the band were then ask to be the support band at sort notice gig with up and coming Manchester band polytechnic and cherry ghost in February, and then played the famous venue once again 1 month later with London based band The Bishop who have been getting some great reviews.
This gig ended with The Front finishing the night with a near capacity crowd in the venue bouncing along to all the songs.
Impressing the bishops so much the band were asked to do a few more dates with the band when they came back to Scotland but couldn’t due to prier engagements. The band played the venue 3 times in 3 months. --------The Front were in the studio in April to record a 4 track E.p which is called “shoot to kill”, recorded and produced by Thomas McNeice from the band “El Presidente” in his private studio in Glasgow. ------------------------The Front had a great success in Liverpool when they headlined the Cavern Club in February 2006, with air play by radio city.
The band have supported a few tour bands which include “The View”, “Polytechnic” “The Law” “The Bishops” “Cherry Ghost” "luva anna" “The Deadbeats”, “Clocks”
And played in venues such as The Carling Academy in Glasgow, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Barrowlands 2 Glasgow barfly, Nice n Sleaze’s, Firewater, box, capitol The Doghouse in Dundee and The Cavern Club in Liverpool
