Glasvegas

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 latterday Manic Street Preachers. There is also a 1950s influenceevident here and vocals that emphasise the band's Scottish origins. A powerful, resounding success that includes the single 'Geraldine'.
