The singer in Promise Lands is the same as in Just Backward of Square? His voice sounds really different to me...

These guys convinced me to buy a guitar never learnt to play it though. Saw them in late 2000 at the now empty princess Charlotte. Great guys signed a poster for me but they had run out of 108 EP carried on looking for a copy for years. Strangely they make me smile, good times.

Lowgold is the reason i got so heavily into music. They've had their ups and downs, mostly downs, and never really credited for their fantastic albums.

And I bet it's the best £1 you've ever spent. I'm considering going to Fopp and buying a whole bunch to give to people. It's a complete crime that Lowgold are still so unknown.
