HITLIST YOUTH - Is This Disco?

Rascal

Blow away

The 2007 debut single from KICK TO KILL and the first release from Flowers in the Dustbin records.  This was our Upside Down.  Sheer genius.  Quit Tomorrow bears little resemblance to the future sound of the band, but it remains forever a classic to us. The band, and track, that inspired the label.

“The single best song I’ve heard from a Scottish group in a very long time… With strong hints towards Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Jesus and Mary Chain, Kick to Kill almost sound like a Scottish version of ‘I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness’… The band encapsulates the best elements of gothic, drone and alternative rock.”

My Mamma Says

Imagine The La’s had never released an album.  Or The Kinks.  Glasgow band The Echo Session are true, almost lost genius.  Possessed with a natural sense of melody and an incisive intelligence, led by Tam Maher, they could and should have reached a wide audience.  Through a variety of events far too detailed for an introduction, they released one single, ‘Tell Me’ in 2009, then nothing.  These are some of the band’s early recordings, from around 2005.  Raw, but nonetheless beautiful.  A few were produced by Joe Kane, the rest are band recordings made in flats and rehearsal studios. Some are one take live recordings.  In 2016/17 the first of these, ‘But I’m Scared’ and ‘Wait and See’, were released as singles gaining radio play and glowing reviews.  The debut album, ‘Wait and See’ is out Friday 25th October 2019.  It is preceded by new single ‘Mystery Man’ out Friday 11th October.

In advance of the official release date the album is available for immediate dispatch exclusively from our Bandcamp store here:
