FACTS : Symbolics. 5 humans(male). 22-23 yrs old. Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Vocals, Words. Glasgow. Symbolics formed in 2001. At the time they were four naive young men without a record deal. Times have changed, and now they are five naive young men without a record deal. However, the band have attracted a significant amount of plaudits. Since early 2002 Symbolics have been crafting hook-filled songs and winning over gig-goers across Glasgow and beyond. Finishing runner-up in Fury Murrys King of Bands and reaching the semi-final of Emergenza Battle of the Bands, it is in the live arena that the band shine. They have played a number of venues across Glasgow, including the internationally-renowned King Tuts Wah Wah Hut and Glasgow School Of Art, and have also played in Edinburgh, Dundee, Arran and Leeds. Symbolics have previously released a single entitled "Seen It All Now" and the "50 Words You've Never Heard" EP. The latter attracted the attention of an influential American producer, and sold out it's run of 200 copies through promotion at gigs. Upon reviewing the EP, Is This Music magazine spoke of "infectious guitar hooks" and described the songs as "ones to set toes-a-tapping and hearts-a-racing". The songs of Symbolics have been played on BBC Radio 1, Beat 106 and Virgin Radio Glasgow among other stations. Symbolics have also featured on the Optimus 1 and Optimus 2 compilations, alongside bands such as The Rising and Way Too Blue. Having played amongst the best and worst of what Glasgow's music scene has to offer, the band has an air of determination to avoid the same fate as the hundreds upon hundreds of third-rate Oasis wannabes littering the nation's stages. Is This Music magazine described one of the band's songs as "Very 1978 - in a good way", but the band aim to make timeless music. There are a number of influences hinted at within Symbolics’ material, but at it’s core is the belief that music should be as much fun for the listener as it is for the band. Songs such as "Social Dancing", "Kisses Sweeter Than Tonic Wine" and "The Czech Dream" successfully marry whistleable tunes with rock chops. Symbolics, indeed, are more than happy to use phrases such as "Rock chops". That's just the kind of selfless beat combo that they are. Radio was great, but now it's out of date - Symbolics are the thing this year.The Symbolics - Social Dancing
