How is the music scene in Motherwell?
In terms of original music, the music scene in Motherwell isn't particularly vibrant. Glasgow serves as the closest hub for music in the region. Nevertheless, Motherwell and its vicinity are home to numerous talented musicians. The broader Lanarkshire area has a rich musical history, and we'd love to see a thriving local music scene emerge.
Can you tell us more about you as a band?
We've been making music since 2013, creating a sound that broadly falls under rock but is heavily influenced by the rhythmic patterns of 4/4 'dance' music. Our approach to music is purely instinctual, and we never enter a writing session with preconceived notions. While we've mostly operated as a studio band recently, we've had the opportunity to tour the UK several times, with multiple dates in Europe. "Vertigo Season" represents a sort of rebirth for the band, and we're eagerly anticipating what's on the horizon.
