"AUTOMATIC PUSHER LIFE" SINGLE AVAILABLE TO BUY AT FOPP, AVALANCHE, MONO, AND SOON TO BE BE THROUGH HIJACKED MYSPACE AS DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!!WITH the emphasis on low-down dirty punk rock that
grabs you by the ears and refuses to let go, the Gems
have rocked out with everyone from the Buzzcocks to
inmates of Barlinnie prison since exploding on to the
Glasgow music scene in 2004.
Brothers Eddie (guitar and vocals) and John Beggan
(bass, vocals) joined forces with childhood friend Kev
McCaig (drums) and set about spreading their musical
message with gigs the length and breadth of Britain.
Championed by the likes of Vic Galloway and Alan McGee
– “Great band, great style, amazing sound.†– the
Gems' CV reads like a who’s who of modern music with
support slots for Goldfrapp, Hard-Fi, Snow Patrol,
Electric Six, the Buzzcocks – and not forgetting their
special one-off Johnny Cash-esque set at Bar-L.
Their songwriting talents and ability to detonate a
dancefloor were officially recognised when they beat
hundreds of new bands to win the prestigious Coca-Cola
Scottish Centre Stage Competition in 2005.
Appearances at T in the Park, MusicWorks UK,
Manchester’s In The City, the Edinburgh Fringe,
Wickerman Festival and Alan McGee’s Death Disco in
London, to name just a few, have dazzled audiences and
helped build a loyal fanbase.
Tipped as one of the bands to watch in 2006 by the
Evening Times, the boys ended the year on a high with
the release of their infectious first single Automatic
Pusher Life on Hijacked Records to rave reviews.
Expect to hear plenty more from them in 2007.I edited my profile at Doobix.com
