Fly with Crows (The QMU Session)

Peplo is a Glasgow based four-piece that cuts classic pop songcraft with an alternative edge; the band begin '22 with the release of their new single 'Goodnight Maria' on January 28th, and will be performing on the UK's summer festival circuit – with a slot at ButeFest already confirmed.

'Goodnight Maria' is the band’s fourth single. The eponymous Maria is a typical millennial heroine – a displaced and exploited twentysomething, who relies on pretension and pride to remain wilfully oblivious to being the poster girl for a lost generation. The song takes this to be both endearing and pitiable, lending 'Goodnight Maria' an acerbic tone that’s new to Peplo’s palate (this more rock-adjacent track comes hot on the heels of dream-pop jangler, ‘Katarina’s Got My Tongue’, as well as the balladesque ‘Tall’ and ‘Just to Get to You’).

"...a big pop tune with loads of ambition, cloaked in a shy and soft overcoat" - SNACK Magazine

"Vocalist Cit Lennox can hit sky-high notes with ease" - Shereen Cutkelvin, BBC Radio Scotland

"...charming, classic jangle pop" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music (of previous single 'Katarina's Got My Tongue')

Highlights from Peplo’s career to date include performing at Last Night From Glasgow’s label showcase at Celtic Connections; being shortlisted for Fresh On The Net’s Listening Post (where the band’s second single, ‘Katarina’s Got My Tongue’, was championed by Tom Robinson - who subsequently played the track on his BBC Radio 6 Music show, ‘BBC Introducing Mixtape’); and playing the forthcoming ButeFest - sharing a bill with Scouting for Girls and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

Goodnight Maria

‘Stranger Than Her Bedfellows’ is the latest self-produced single from Peplo - revealing a rawer side to the band’s alternative-pop stylings.

Stranger Than Her Bedfellows

Following a season of live shows that saw the band perform alongside Meursalt; Jonnie Common; Hailey Beavis; and En Attendant Ana, Peplo released their new song 'Tall' on 21/02/20.

The band's music has been described as sounding like "The Cranberries or 10,000 Maniacs but with added complexity and muso appeal" (Storm the Palace). With 'Tall', Peplo cap a successful gigging campaign that took the band to OK PAL Records' all-day festival at Portobello and Last Night From Glasgow's showcase at Celtic Connections.

Peplo fully formed in 2018, with the intention of merging classic pop songcraft with indie sensibilities; 'Tall' is the band's eagerly anticipated debut.

Tall

Coming hot on the heels of their debut single Tall, Peplo will release their new song Katarina's Got My Tongue on June 5th. As with Tall, Katarina's Got My Tongue was recorded and mixed primarily in their guitarist Iain's Glasgow flat, with drums recorded at The Audio Lounge.

Peplo formed, fully, in 2018 with the intention of cutting classic pop songcraft with an alternative edge. The band's sound has been described as "lofi, dreamy, and lush" by The Unsigned Guide, while their music has drawn comparisons to "Dolly Mixture, Marine Girls, and C86" (Rats on the Run) as well as "The Cranberries or 10,000 Maniacs but with added complexity and muso appeal" (Storm the Palace)

Katarina's Got My Tongue

Forming in 2018, Peplo is a Glasgow based four-piece that cuts classic pop songcraft with an alternative edge.  ‘Just to Get to You’ comes hot on the heels of Peplo's second single, ‘Katarina’s Got My Tongue’ - which was hailed as “the perfect dreamy summertime anthem” with “an utterly addictive chorus” (The Music Files). ‘Katarina’s Got My Tongue’ was shortlisted for Fresh On The Net’s Listening Post, where it was voted for by several listeners - including Tom Robinson, who subsequently played the track on his BBC Radio 6 Music show ‘BBC Introducing Mixtape’.

'Just to Get to You' is about the crazy pursuit that's demanded by a fledgling relationship - and everything that comes with that: the mixed messages, the misinterpreted intentions, and the desperate gestures.

It is the band’s most ambitious recording project to date, teasing the dynamic arrangements of Peplo's forthcoming EP.
