Tune Up - Music Touring Across Scotland

1990s

The three-piece indie band from Glasgow were signed to Rough Trade Record Company (home of many notable acts such as The Strokes and The Long Blondes) when they were spotted at only their sixth gig, (a first for Rough Trade) and have released two albums so far, Cookies and Kicks.

The band's second album, Kicks, was produced by Bernard Butler (as was the first) and was released on March 23 2009. This twelve-track effort included the glam-stomp of 'The Box', 'Everybody Please Relax' and the single '59'. It boasted a beefier, harmony-driven sound, whilst maintaining the band's
trademark style and wit and featured a guest turn from former Long Blondes singer Kate Jackson, who lent backing vocals to the track "Kickstrasse."

"Like Supergrass and British Sea Power before them, 1990s' refusal to be difficult and consistent greatness makes them a hard concept to market. But a fantastic one to listen to."
