Annie Stevenson is, firstly, not a female singer, but a band, made up of four lads from Glasgow.

Their myspace doesn’t give much away – not even who is in the band or their influences. However, listening to their myspace songs suggests these young men have a bright future ahead of them. Even better, I get the distinct impression that they may understand that Definitely Maybe and The Stone Roses are not the be-all and end-all of indie music. Thank God. And any band who can write such a nihilistic lyric as ‘I’m an atheist because the Bible is too long’ have gotta be going places.

They’ve graciously given me an mp3 to put up, and are continuing to work on new stuff. With upcoming gigs in Bathgate (Harleys, January 29), Edinburgh (Whistle Binkies, February 12) and Glasgow (Box, February 20), plus an upcoming session for Leith Radio the future looks bright.

Catch ’em now and say you saw ’em first.
