- 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.
