Best Live Band"Born in the summer of '09, The Age played local gigs, and practised regularly to form a tight sound and develop our musicality. As the gigs made there way outward things took off at a decent pace. After jumping between places to practice and places to play, we got an EP out that gave us some groundwork to put out there. Now, we write, we play and we aim to get a second and much more definitive EP out this year so we can start promoting ourselves to the bigger players. Thanks, for listening." |
Best Band BA"The Lonely Whale are a Scottish band with roots reaching from Glasgow to Perth. Our sound could be described as a blend of Pop/Rock and Folk music but we love to push the boundaries with our music, using the acoustic guitar as a foundation to build upon with influences from artists ranging from the Beach Boys to the Smiths. With our début single 'Have You Heard The News, My Dear?' having just been released, The Lonely Whale are ready to show everyone what we can do!"
