The Spinto Band October 19, 2007

Utilizing the indie-pop sensibilities of the Flaming Lips and Pavement, their songs can send you into an over-the-rainbow blissful state. Glasgow's Sons and Daughters don't follow the indie pop formula made famous by their counterparts (Belle and Sebastian, Camera Obscura). Adele Bethel, David Gow, Scott Paterson and Ailidh Lennon, who formed the group in 2001, compose a roughcast folk-rock sound similar to the likes of Smog and Cat Power. Making their place in the British rock scene, The Maccabees absorb their love of bands like the Clash, The Streets, XTC and The Kinks among others to reflect their hook-laden pop sounds.
