About Me


cruiser originally formed in a studio in Cowdenbeath, Scotland, mainly a recording project. Within months we soon got signed to a Californian label, and put an album NORTHERN ELECTRIC out in the USA, recieving enthusiastic US press and radio play. We soon afterwards performed a few gigs across Scotland, though never toured the USA, oddly enough. We then had a break....now we are back.
KFM RECORDS (one of Scotland's most uber cool labels) have re-released a NORTHERN ELECTRIC special edition. Remastered with 4 bonus tracks from our wilderness years, it includes two tracks recorded and co-produced by the Scottish pop royalty that is John Disco from BIS.
You can purchase this record from the kfm webshop, itunes and all the major internet purveyors of sound.
With newer releases to follow, we look forward to working with KFM.
We are also working with other labels/artists from across this tiny planet on mutual remix/collaboration projects.
(more to be announced)
You can also buy the original NORTHERN ELECTRIC (voted into the TOP 100 SCOTTISH ALBUMS OF ALL TIME by the kind journos from Is This Music? magazine) from most internet sites that sell cds, and some record chains if you prefer the thrill of browsing in the real world....
if you want to find out more, weve put up reviews and stuff in our blog section
