Glasvegas (CD)

Glaswegian four-piece Glasvegas release their self-titled debut album through Columbia. Another discovery by music mogul Alan McGee, the band mix the wall-of-sound style of My Bloody Valentine with the anthemic singalong choruses of latter day Manic Street Preachers. There is also a 1950s influence evident here and vocals that emphasise the band's Scottish origins. A powerful, resounding success that includes the single 'Geraldine'.
