Vic Galloway Presents.....

Wondering when your first great gig of 2012 will be? Fear not as Uncle Vic has put together a raucous bill of new talent for your ears!

United Fruit are at the forefront of a raft of brilliant new bands coming out of Scotland and hammered that point home last year with a blinding debut album in the shape of ‘Fault Lines’

Featuring on many blog/magazine’s End of year Poll’s here are just a couple of testimony’s

“Fault Lines plays like a broader attack on the senses – touched by the kind of dynamism that marked out Trail of Dead’s Source Tags & Codes as an adrenaline shot to the heart of a dying genre.” - The Skinny

“I’ve seen them live. They are outstanding, really tight, really in your face. If you like Jesus Lizard, Shellac, maybe even at the Drive-in then you’ll love these guys. Go and see them live and get the EP Mistress, Reptile Mistress!”
Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland

Paws are another band trailblazing their way with series of incredible performances which led to them recording sessions for both Radio 1 and 6music.They were also a particular highlight at this years Wickerman festival according to The Skinny

“The three-piece from Glasgow recently impressed at a Song By Toad night in Edinburgh supporting Milk Maid, where a friend remarked that it was like watching Bleach-era Nirvana. We didn’t see Nirvana in any era sadly, but can see where he’s coming from and share his enthusiasm for a band that keep it simple but have absolutely great songs. A very exciting prospect, they have a raw yet refined sound and a lead singer who has an aura about him, one of the most exciting bands I have heard in some time.” The Skinny

“The next band…mmmmm…oooooooohhhhhhhhhh…I have to say this is probably one of my tips for the year, it’s Vasquez.” Halina ‘Glasgow Podcart’ Rifai
