Artist / Band / Musician
With an explosive debut album as well as countless gigs, festivals and
support slots under their belts, St Deluxe have bottled and distilled
their sound ready to unleash it on the world. Think Dinosaur Jr, My
Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub and a whole host of other noise-niks
updated for 2010. Ear-bleedingly loud and ready for SXSW - get them
while they're hot!"
Vic Galloway, BBC Radio 1 & BBC Radio Scotland.
St Deluxe make Glaswegian fuzz-pop with beautiful noise. Fans already
include Alan McGee ("St. Deluxe are brilliant, a Scottish Nirvana for
the 21st Century"), Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake ("Scotland's Uber
noise/pop merchants. I love 'em!"), Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite
("Great guitar pop. They have a fine collection of guitar pedals and
are not afraid to use them!") and Tim Burgess of the Charlatans (“I
have played New Wave Stars on repeat constantly, great lyrics great
sound kinda mixes up Bleach era Nirvana, Tom Verlaine and
Bandwagonesque period Teenage Fanclub.Pushes all the buttons,
MONOCHROME ROCK N ROLL”) .
Their self-titled UK debut, released on February 9th 2009 through
Poppydisc, showcases 11 songs wrapped in dirty guitars, fuzz bass and
off-kilter drums. Influenced by noise-oriented indie-rock
troublemakers like Sonic Youth, MBV and Jesus and Mary Chain as well
as the scuzz-pop of Pavement, Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr, the visceral
rock thrills are perfectly balanced by addictive melodies.
'St Deluxe' was recently released through Star Sign records in Japan
to great acclaim, and has distribution secured throughout Germany and
Sweden.
Further recordings feature guest producers like Calvin Johnson of K
Records/Beat Happening and Stuart Braithwaite.
The band have a healthy live reputation thanks to blistering shows
across the UK, an appearance at SXSW in Texas and support slots in Scotland
with underground heroes Mudhoney, the Vaselines and Sonic Boom
(Spectrum/Spacemen 3).
