Not content with releasing my favourite record of the year so far – Peter Parker’s ‘Swallow the Rockets’ – Lucky Number Nine Records and Say Dirty Records, have clearly decided that they are not going to be labels to rest on their collective laurels.
Oh no!
Their next release will be the debut single from Glasgow band Paper Planes on October 12, entitled ‘Doris Day’ and backed with another fantastic track ‘Restless.’ Staggeringly, the band only came together in January of this year. They are New Jersey-born singer Jennifer Paley who is joined by bassist Fraser McFadzean, guitarist Christopher Haddow and Craig O’Brien on drums. Musically they remind me – in an extremely positive way, I hasten to add – of Isa and the Filthy Tongues and Sons & Daughters. Seventies noo york punk meets Surf guitar and topped of with a post-punk flavour.
They are playing in Glasgow several times over the next month as well as making an appearance at the Southsea Festival in Portsmouth.
Their fantastic music can be heard at their myspace – and watched here.
