French Wives - Covered in Grace

Poor Things are Craig Angus (vocals/guitar/bass); Richard Stratton (vocals/bass/guitar) and Gavin Redford (backing vocals/drums), three young men who, after having played together throughout their youth in Perth, formed the band in late-2009 in Glasgow. After bonding musically over a love for Teenage Fanclub and Pavement, they wrote their first song ‘18’ and since then it has been onwards and upwards…

The band made their debut live performance in May 2010, and have since played with artists such as Boy and Bear, Happy Birthday and French Wives in Glasgow City.

Poor Things’ sound is heavily reliant on electricity, though the band have said that they will not break up if electricity goes missing.

They strive to achieve a dynamic sound, punctuated with memorable hooks and melodies, and are definitely a collective to look out for.
