St Deluxe have been included in the list of bands to watch out for in 2008 by the Daily Record!! here's what they said...
ST DELUXE
St Deluxe are another band who may be onthe left of the mainstream but with the new love of indie have every chance of breaking through. Mixing howling guitars and My Bloody Valentine-style vocals with the harmonies of Teenage Fanclub, the band, who are led by BMX Bandits regulars Jamie Cameron and Martin Kirwan, are already doing well in Germany.
We also received a 5 out of 5 live review for the support gig with Spectrum!
here it is...
