Biography

United Kingdom (1989 – 1998)

As a band formed in 1989 in Scotland, Long Fin Killie may be best known as the band that singer Luke Sutherland sang for before subsequently embarking on his solo project under the name of Bows. Other members in the band included Colin Greig, David Turner, and Philip Cameron. Over the course of three albums and numerous singles, the Scottish act cemented their musical style and constantly employed a mix of delicate string arrangements, horns, and of course, Luke Sutherland’s often delicate singing style that often ventured into more aggressive waters during certain tracks. Singing about topics that ranged from issues of race and sexuality to societal standards of beauty, the group remained anything but your typical rock act until they disbanded in 1998.

    because it sounds like a less interesting version of bark psychosis combined with a less daring version of disco inferno

    Don't know why this band is not popular. Very interesting and qualitative sound. So much underrated.

    i have never really understood how people classify LFK as "post-rock," although i've thought the same of Disco Inferno and Bark Psychosis before. either way, they are great.

    I'm astonished that so few people have heard this band. They're one of the best English post-rock bands of the 90s. Scratch that: They're one of the best bands of the 90s, period.

    This has always been one of those best kept secret relationships for me. I kinda like the fact that they fly under the radar because you know that you had to go off the beaten path to find such a sensational band.
