Following the tradition of Belle and Sebastian, with a visceral thump of Arab Strap, Wake The President are the latest innovative group to be released on the award-winning student-run Glasgow label, Stow College’s Electric Honey Records. “Remember Fun?” is their second 7” single, following on from their April debut on Electric Honey, “Sorrows for Clothes”. Gigging for a few years now, the band have built up a strong live following since their formation at Glasgow University back in the summer of 2005. They draw their influences from a variety of sources, with the Postcard era unashamedly seeping through in their diverse harmonies and melodies. This is allied to Erik’s lyrics, which are a bit of a conundrum... West End debauchery and deceit seem to be a recurring subject, along with Jerome novels, infidelity and dipsomnia. Whilst Bjorn’s guitar is very much influenced by Postcard-era James Kirk and Felt’s Maurice Deebank. Wake the President’s music encapsulates and portrays the beauty of a city which has been in desperate need for reflection, in a manner not dissimilar to another one of their influences, The Smiths.
