- They’re Glasgow’s spunkiest, punkiest, brightest rock’n’pop’n’roll
band, and they’ll blow you away with their soaraway tunes as soon as look
at you (while dancing like Pan’s People).
- In just a short space of time, they’ve flourished into an alarmingly
breezy rock’n’roll godsend with an army of cheering, jeering and beering
fans who know pop genius when they see it.
- They gathered a rapturous reception with their gig at McChuills at In The City, Glasgow 1997. They
may have come fourth behind Idlewild, but at least you’d want to listen to them.
- They’re better than any number of slack-jawed idiots in cagoules
bellowing “Coooome On!” forever and ever until the end of time.
- They are now becoming very highly respected among those Glaswegians
‘in the know’.
- Their new single Cookie Monster c/w Glam Frock is probably the best
Glaswegian pop record since Velocity Girl by Primal Scream. And it’s out
now on Flotsam and Jetsam.
- None of them are ginger, or have tightly curled hair like Don Fisher
from Home and Away.
- After learning that they were to share the bill with VOLLEY in front
of 2000 revellers at Glasgow’s QM Union, Scouse easy-listening aficionados
Space chickened out and are now being sued for an inordinate sum for
their cowardice. They must have realised that VOLLEY’s deft way with
a dandy ditty would leave them looking old, so old. Or perhaps it was
the ginger hair factor (see above).
- They may be teenagers, but they’re not Teen-C. Instead, they thieve
like magpies from all the great pop movements of the last 30 years,
including the ones that most people think are too embarrassing.
- They played an important part in halting the comeback of eighties
legends Heaven 17 after winning a coveted support slot at last year’s
Edinburgh Flux Festival.
- A VOLLEY Haiku – “ Pale blue petals fall from the trees, I find it
too hard to describe this band in 17 syllables”
- At their last gig in Glasgow’s King Tut’s, they avalanched
- Snow Patrol
off the stage in a blizzard of spacedust bubblegum rock.
- They’re not fat, middle-aged, sexually hung-up, beardy-weirdies from
Falkirk. “Brian Wilson didn’t need to mumble and neither do we”, they say.
- You can’t help but fall in love with VOLLEY’s timeless melodies or the
head-spinning sugar rush that their songs provide. New songs ‘Hit Back’,
‘Emmanuelle’ and ‘The World Revolves Around Me’ prove that they just keep
getting’ better (man). Unlike others we could mention.
- They’ve just completed their first ‘tour’ to promote the single.
Missing Records and King Tut’s in Glasgow, Cas Rock in Edinburgh and The Works
in Aberdeen all succumbed to the dynamic foursome.
