Rating: ecstatic This record left William Porteous feeling ecstatic.

It's the simplicity that throbs threw this record and numbs away all the day to day. I was stopped in my tracks like a man in a lust filled combat with a frantic 9-5, suddenly under the realisation that there is more depth to be found from the back of the cupboard mind than the something something thousand a year.

With a voice so melancholic it's like 400 childhood memories rapped in trips to the beach, i'm at this masterpice's feet gazing up. James Allen swoons and scraps threw note books of gripes and adventure, mistakes wishful thoughts and heart ripping tourture to bring you so much into his world it's to the point of jaw dropping tears. "I think my misses have fucked every guy she's ever loked at". Things will never be the same again. Out of the Indie saturated boredom and into the light, the wall of sound that greets you like a warm blanket baked in your mum's airing cupboard for hours has finally reached us.

What the label says:

“Majestic anthems and heartbreaking emotion from Scotland’s newest heroes.” NME

Glasvegas release new single “It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry” on Valentines Day 2008, through Sane Man Recordings. It will be available on limited edition 7” vinyl and download.

“Cheating Heart…” is the follow up to “Daddy’s Gone”, a track so special it was voted runner up in the NME’s Tracks Of 2008 issue and raved about in the pages of Uncut, Q, The Guardian and the Sunday Times. But where “Daddy’s Gone” saw singer James Allan take lyrical aim at an absent father, “Cheating Heart…” sees him battling with a demon even closer to home — himself.

Guilt, paranoia, deceit, infidelity… all are explored in shocking honesty, as James admits: “My attitude is always I and me and mine.”  In the grand canon of pop songwriting, where the singer almost always plays the hard-done-to victim, “Cheating Heart…” stands out a mile. An epic confrontation between man and the darkest retreats of his own soul, consider it a musical Apocalypse Now, thrashing and crashing its way to a dramatic conclusion.

The band have plenty more songs like this at their disposal. Well-versed in rock’s rich history, Glasvegas marry classic 50’s songwriting with the sinister fuzz of Suicide and the Velvets. Yet these are songs that could only ever have come from spending the last two decades in Glasgow’s notorious east end. Senseless murders? Family breakdown? The pressure to conform to macho stereotypes? Just some of the things lead singer / guitarist and songwriter James Allan tackles, backed up by Paul Donoghue (bass), Rab Allan (Guitar), Caroline Mckay (drums) and their thundering wall of sound.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
