Hercules Mandarin are a three-piece rock band based in Glasgow, Scotland. Comprising guitar, bass, drums, piano, and multi-part vocal harmonies, the Hercules Mandarin sound veers through genres described as folk, acoustic, pop, to all out hard rock. Critically acclaimed albums "Blonde. Drunk. Brilliant." (2007) and "Fast Behind The Times" (2009) are each carefully crafted storyboards, containing 10 tracks that take the listener from one end of the sonic scale to the other, and then back again.
 
The band have toured Scotland extensively, and, in their home city of Glasgow, have filled the iconic King Tut's Wah Wah Hut to capacity. Notable support slots include opening for Matt Costa, Foy Vance, and Colin McIntyre (aka Mull Historical Society). Previous releases have received airplay on BBC Radio One, BBC Radio Scotland, Clyde One, QFM, Rock Radio, Subcity Radio, Sunny Govan, Leith FM, being playlisted by respected DJs such as Vic Galloway, Bruce Morton, Jim Gellatly, and Ally McRae.
 
Hercules Mandarin are currently working on a new album, due for release Summer 2014. New single 'Panic Button' is out now.

Music maker from Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland, now living in Glasgow.  Since my first collection of skewed, folkish blues songs: ‘Cold But Bright’ I’ve tried to resist the artificial limitations of defining myself as a ‘singer-songwriter’ (admittedly, while writing and singing songs.) This has resulted in attempts to investigate some remoter sonic territories.. As well as more songs.
