Retro Video Club
Retro Video Club are a four piece from Edinburgh consisting of Liam Allison, Sam McGill, Michael Ward, and Kieran Burt.
Championed by Radio X legend John Kennedy and, with a string of UK dates lined up for March, we dive into their work:
Youth
The seaside desolation of The Horrors' 'Primary Colours' is brought to life once more with the nostalgic organs. From there, they hit blast off and never look back.
Front man, Liam Allison, vocally walks a line of anarchy like Billy Idol (Generation X era) and Julian Casablancas. He also has a cuteness and angelic quality that’s set to adhere him to millions.
Night In
Who among us, can honestly say, we don't love the Scottish accent within rock music? Simon Neil, Gerry Cinnamon, Bobby Gillespie, Scott Hutchison. It's a litany of vocals to adore.
With the desperation of Tribes, the gang mentality of Palma Violets and, the pop hooks of Supergrass, RVC have hit upon anthem gold here.
