What's a little sin to see us through?

 
I heard summat at work the other day, I've tracked it down and it turns out it was Glasvegas, who up until that point had just been another name to me.........what's everyone make of them? Seems to me its just a watered-down version of the Twilight Sad. I'm not particularly into TTS really, although I've been warming to them recently, but this lot just smack of a band riding their coat-tails, somehow, it's extremely contrived with the overly-emoted Scots vocals and all.............

(Not that I'm having a pop at Scots vocals - I always loved Arab Strap and 'vocals' don't come much more Scots than that)

We've been selling loads of it, anyway, and I was just wondering if there's any fans on here?
Whiskey, painkillers and speed will carry me there.....

Albi The Racist Dragon -

 
The extreme Scottishness does make it incredibly fun to sing while drunk.

As I've said before on here, I like them when I really thought I wouldn't due to the hype, although I still have no idea how they've been so massively hyped when it's effectively shoegaze.

satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
