Catholic Action are a product of Glasgow’s famously fertile music scene but have won fans across the UK thanks to their peerless pop masterpieces. After a run of rapturously received gigs in their hometown the group released their long-awaited debut release for Luv Luv Luv Records (Spector, Only Real, Splashh, The Garden) earlier this year.

The four-piece band are centered around the singular talents of vocalist and guitarist Chris McCrory – already known among key taste-makers as the drummer in Casual Sex, another of Glasgow’s leading musical lights.
McCrory, still only 24, became a full-time producer and recording engineer straight from school after establishing his own studio. While helping many of the artists in Glasgow’s burgeoning DIY scene, McCrory is also an exceptional songwriter in his own right and his group quickly became the most talked about in town.

Catholic Action were formed in 2014 by McCrory alongside Jamie Dubber on bass and Ryan Clark on drums. Andrew Macpherson later joined as lead guitarist to add extra sparkle to the group’s own brand of glam noise rock. The Glasgow band performed at a slew of this year’s’ tastemaker festivals including Live At Leeds, The Great Escape and Radio 1 Big Weekend and have announced a UK tour to coincide with a new single on Luv Luv Luv Records.

Crunchy second single from these Glaswegians is 100% fun. Their combination of Art Brut and Ash is one that could go wrong, but hasn’t yet.

Glasgow’s Catholic Action return with their vital new double a-side single ‘Rita Ora’/’Breakfast’, released on 7” vinyl and download 23 September via Luv Luv Luv Records.

A firm live favourite, ‘Rita Ora’ is playful take on their glam meets post-punk sound and follows their acclaimed single ‘L.U.V.’. The track is accompanied by the low-slung anthem ‘Breakfast’, which dials back the tempo of previously heard Catholic Action songs, without compromising the energy and songcraft.

Catholic Action are a product of Glasgow’s famously fertile music scene and have won fans across the UK with their inescapable melodies and equally fervent live show. After a run of rapturously received gigs in their hometown, followed by shows alongside the likes of Swim Deep, The Libertines and FFS, they released their long-awaited first single for Luv Luv Luv Records earlier this year (Spector, Only Real, Splashh, The Garden).

The four-piece band are centered around the talents of vocalist and guitarist Chris McCrory – already known as the drummer in another of Glasgow’s leading musical lights Casual Sex, and a producer in his own right.

‘L.U.V.’ gained massive support from the likes of DIY, NME, Best Fit and more. The track also received love from BBC Radio 1, where it made the BBC Introducing Playlist, Huw Stephen’s ‘Tip of the Week’ as well as being included in Annie Mac’s #NewNames.

SOPHIE JAMIESON – ” Stain “

Image result for SOPHIE JAMIESON - " Stain "

When Sophie Jamieson began writing songs, she began sketching out her thoughts, what emerged was just like any other aspiring artist. An absorbing style, formula, cliche, the young singer quickly realised that what counted, what stood out in the long run was her own voice, Driving her material in a stark, deeply affecting direction, Sophie Jamieson has quickly matured into something quite special.

Darkly noir pop music crafted on acoustic guitar, comparisons have been made to Daughter in her ability to make the turmoil of the soul appear hopelessly glamorous.

The single ‘Stain’ is lyrically bleak, with Sophie Jamieson’s vocal performance being unusually direct. Musically, the arrangement is sparse, with the emphasis on space almost as an instrument in itself. Its completely beguiling, deeply involving songwriting, ‘Stain’ came out via Luv Luv Luv.

The group were personally invited by Alex Kapranos to support FFS at their sold-out show at the famous Barrowland Ballroom last August. Just days later, Carl Barat was in touch to ask them to open for The Libertines when they played Glasgow’s Academy the following month – an invitation to open on Swim Deep’s UK tour in October 2015 followed.

L.U.V. was recorded at the Green Door Studio in Glasgow by Sam Smith (Casual Sex, Mother and the Addicts). The single was mixed at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool by Rich Turvey (Blossoms, Clean Cut Kid).
