Aerials Up – The Old And The Innocent Aerials Up appear to be on a quest to write the World's Greatest Anthemic Pop Song. It has all the necessary parts: anthemic chorus, the quiet part leading to the huge crescendo, harmonised male and female vocals and a stadium guitar sound. And while this isn't quite All Your Mother's Daughters (the best thing they've ever released), it is very good indeed. Available now from iTunes Marvel Heights – Make No [...]
Frank Yang Back to back festivals! What a great idea. Just prior to heading out to engage with Canadian Musicfest's 2012 edition, I took a look back at years past and noticed a couple trends - one, that I usually complain about the lineup ( check! ) and that as a result of not wanting to see the same old same old, I try to branch out and see new and unknown acts, usually from foreign climes, with little background and no guarantee of [...]
With the New Year fast approaches, here's the last in my series of Artists Albums of the Year for 2011. To finish off the year we have some pretty fine choices from the likes of Aerials Up, Inspector Tapehead, Miaoux Miaoux, Woodenbox, The Seventeenth Century, Edinburgh School for the Deaf, Ghost Pants and Sojourner. Villagers by Becoming a Jackel chosen by Debbie Kate ( Aerials Up ) On a bored [...]
LightGuides released their mini-album 'Samba Samba Samba' earlier this month on Alcopop Records. We caught up with drummer Dave to discuss the 'veggie challenge', the healthy state of Scottish music and that elusive Jay-Z and Beethoven collaboration. And it goes a little like this: Cougar Microbes: What time did you wake up today? Was it out [...]
Until just recently I had decided that I was now too old to go to music festivals, the thought of waking up in a tent just really didn't appeal to me anymore. In short I was starting to think along the same lines as this grumpy old sod . However, when Randolph's Leap offered me one of their 'plus ones' for this years Wickerman Festival, I found myself changing my mind somewhat. I used to be the kind of person who looked to see who the headliners would be, this time round though I found myself looking at the [...]
I am such a fickle chap sometimes. For ages I turned my nose up at Aerials Up for no reason other than they seemed to get a lot of gigs supporting Snow Patrol. What makes me even more stupid is that I actually really like the 'Patrol, which I guess loses me several indie street [...]
I do try my best to be subtle when it comes to mentioning things about our label, Olive Grove , there's a fine line between news and spam, so I will try and keep this short. Randolph's Leap have a new double A side single, ' Counting Sheep' / 'Deep Blue Sea ', coming out next Monday (16th). To celebrate the singles release we're having a wee launch night at Stereo on Tuesday 17th May with support from The Moth & The Mirror and Burnt Island . Entry for the evening are only [...]
I am such a fickle fucker some times, for ages I turned up my nose at Aerials Up for no reason other than they seemed to get a lot of gigs supporting Snow Patrol. What makes me even more stupid is that I actually really like the 'Patrol, which I guess loses me several indie street cred points, but fuck it I don't care. Thankfully though, my stubbornness was worn down and I hold my hands up and admit that Aerials Up are a great fucking band, with some of the most catchy pop songs that I have heard [...]
Os Aerials Up são um exército de músicos de Glasgow, armados com uma artilharia variada de instrumentos, e a tocar debaixo de inúmeras influências, mas incondicionalmente fazendo música lindíssima. Gosto particularmente dos violinos a acompanhar os riffs de guitarra nos refrões e do caminho que a música percorre através da dinâmica das vozes e dos múltiplos e variados instrumentos.
![[Introducing] – Aerials Up](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3184643_lg.jpg)
Go on Scotland, go do your thing (I know Frank is all about the homeland); as he should be, especially with good music coming out of it like Aerials Up. Aerials Up is an outfit from Glasgow, making some serious noise this past year. This is a good one, a seven piecer with a wide range of instruments coming together to make melodically intricate but with a simply beautiful sound. With a few notches in their musical belt, they've been associated and played with huge names like Snow Patrol, The Futureheads , Doves , Ash, and Paulo Nutini [...]
Aerials Up Release New Single "Superglue" Out February 14th Sessions Recorded For Jo Wiley (BBC Radio 2), Vic Galloway (BBC3) and BBC Radio Scotland Winners: Tartan Clef 'Emerging Talent Award' Aerials Up are a mind blowing seven-piece band from Glasgow, Scotland who formed in late 2009. After the release of their debut single "Stay Awake" in the summer of 2010, and a number of live tours and well received festival appearances, [...]
So, nachdem Matze und Jonas hier schon ganz superb ihr musikalisches bzw. popkulturelles Jahr präsentiert haben, halte ich meinen Rückblick knapp und kurz. Ein Blick auf meine (unten beginnenden) Bestenlisten zeigt vor allem, dass 2010 musikalisch ohne Empfehlungen durch Freunde nicht so toll gewesen wäre: Hundreds, Fyfe Dangerfield, Darwin Deez – ich wäre von selbst nie drauf gekommen, mir die anzuhören. Ein paar Bands gab es aber auch, da war das anders, z.B. die Local Natives oder Alcoholic Faith Mission. Zufällig drauf gestoßen – und sofort verliebt. So muss das sein. 2011, ich bin gespannt! [...]

A career in music does not always pan out the way aspiring talents would like, but every once and a while fresh faces flood the scene and take the industry by storm. These 7 fresh faces displayed above, Aerials Up , hail from Glasgow and have really found their stride early on. The band got their start at the end of 2009, and for a solid year began to truly discover who they were as a band and have found success along the way. With some early hype, the band found themselves in several BBC recording sessions and even [...]

With no Scottish bands on tour outside the UK this week, Vic has instead given us some details on a few of the Scottish bands that will be visiting his BBC Radio Scotland show soon, including Aerials Up, Mogwai, Primal Scream and more. Check out the full listing of bands on tour over the next [...]
I know, I know… I don't things by halves! But the way I see it, if you're going to turn people on to new music at the start of the year, you may as well give them a load of names and styles to investigate and explore. I can never limit my choices to only [...]
Allie Moss - Corner (live at the BT-Tower) Vor zwei Wochen habe ich mir in London die berauschend schottischen Newcomer Aerials Up zusammen mit einer Retro-Ölung von Jonathan Jeremiah gegeben. Die Vorband der Vorband wiederum, von der ich mir gar nicht viel erwartet hatte, war Allie Moss, und sie war es auch, die den bleibenden musikalischen Eindruck in meinem (an musikalischen Eindrücken wirklich nicht armen) Kopf hinterlassen hat. Die kleine Neuengländerin mit gelockten Haaren, die trotz luftig-zerstreutem Kleinstpublikum ordentlich aufgeregt war, ist nämlich Gänsehautproduzentin. Ihr erster Gig in [...]
Getting wrapped up in something on the internet to the point of running out of time elsewhere is inherently silly, and yet after a huge splurge in traffic at my other blog Bad Cover Versions , it's exactly what I've done today. So this post is a little curtailed, and I apologise profusely. Look on the bright side: perhaps this time the music itself will do the talking, as opposed performing tricks in the background, trying to grab your attention [...]
It's summertime, mid-afternoon. The sun is out. You're stuck in a smelly office with very little air circulation and fewer windows. Need to snap out of the post-lunch yawns? A relatively new band with a mind blowing tune is just your answer. Dubbed Aeriels Up , the ten (make that mega) piece out of Glasgow have a fresh single, "Stay Awake", that is both ridiculously catchy and gloriously fun. It all kicks off with a nice driving rhythm that soon explodes into a massive plume of folk, rock, soul, and other various highlights [...]
