THIS IS A COPY OF VOLLEY'S CURRENT PRESS RELEASE
  • 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.
