PRESS and APPRECIATION...
"Mindset are a little known nugget of joy in the Glasgow music scene. Only set to get bigger and better after this performance, the four-piece marry gentle, melodic guitars with gorgeous vocals sung with honest emotion. With the success of their debut ‘The Beautiful EP’ under their belts, this wonderful band are set for great things" - Diceline Promotions
"Mindset got off to a great start with a couple of tracks that started slow and ended with fast racing guitar work. A four piece from Glasgow their sound reminded me a little at times of Radiohead and Muse." - www.gigreviewscotland.com
