Glasgow has produced some of the greatest bands the UK - and the wider world - has seen, so we thought it would be a good idea to put together this list of artists performing in the city who could be the next great Glasgow band.
After lockdown ended, Glasgow was aflush with a tidal wave of brand new bands, and with all that time to practice during the pandemic - the calibre of the music scene in Glasgow has improved drastically.
Our city is undeniably a musical one, producing some majorly successful and famous artists like AC/DC, Franz Ferdinand, Primal Scream, Simple Minds, and the Bay City Rollers. If that line-up isn’t telling enough, regardless of the genre, Glasgow does music best.
Any one of these artists have the talent, stage presence, and the formidable cool factor that it takes to be the next big thing.
9. And the Bandages
And the Bandages are a band from Wishaw which have been gigging around Glasgow since the lockdown ended. They’ve just released their first single, Three Day Bender. You can listen to the tune, or find out when their next gig is, by following them on Instagram: @andthebandages (Pic by @wilburspolaroids) | @wilburspolaroids
10. The Vanities
The Vanities are a pretty popular band in Glasgow, and for good reason - even Robert Carlyle (Begbie from Trainspotting) publicly endorsed their tune, Wasted All My Days, on Twitter. You can listen to that track, and get the low-down on their next gig on their Instagram: @thevanitiesuk | The Vanities
