The Winter Tradition
http://www.myspace.com/thewintertradition
The Winter Tradition are a noisy pop-rock quartet from Scotland. Their energetic live performances are emphasized by various dynamics that excite and involve the audience and they have succeeded in creating their own sound that is instantly recognisable to any listener or follower. The Winter Tradition have used the combination of many artists from different backgrounds and traditions to create a blend of music that they could listen to and enjoy themselves.
“Pretty darn special, So many amazing new rock bands emerging from this little nation of ours right now and that is a fine example” – Jim Gellatly
“Big, swooping indie always has a place on the UtR stereo and quickly becoming regulars on our shamefully beat-up tape deck. Both anthemic and anathemic, the Glasgow/Edinburgh ensemble produce effervescent, guitar driven totems tinged with sleek college rock production.” – The Scotsman – Under The Radar
Nevada Base

The songs are about noise-control officers, mental illness, robotics, geographical obstacles, mysterious women from space, electricity, love and the importance (or otherwise) of timeliness. The end result is about making heartfelt, thoughtful – danceable – pop; Or is it poppable-dance? Either way, if this leaves you confused as to whether you should dance or think, then just dance.
“…one of Scotland’s hottest new bands” – Heaven or Las Vegas
“…beautifully crafted electro pop, think Erland Oye and you are on the right track. ‘If I’m Late’ and ‘Love On My Mind’ are crying out to be played at clubs and will no doubt be featuring on a late night compilation at some point.” – MusicInGlasgow
