The Deadline Shakes originari  di Glasgow sono Greg Dingwall (voce solista, chitarra e le chiavi), Iain McKinstry (chitarre e voce), Martin McLeod (basso), Thomas Booth (batteria) e Sam Clark (pianoforte), con Michael Muir (violino) e Kiera Pollock (voce).

Il loro album di debutto ‘Zealots‘, prodotto da Greg in una piccola stanza nell’East End di Glasgow, è il prodotto dei tre anni di duro lavoro successivi alla nascita della band. Le Canzoni di Greg sono spesso ampie nella portata, e lucide grazie ai testi che donano all’album una discreta qualità umana. Questo è un album registrato con un budget limitato che suona come alla Scala, merito del grande studio di produzione.

Ogni membro della band è un polistrumentista che ha una passione smisurata con vocazione a creare, un disco sul quale si fonda tutto ciò che fanno. Anche opere d’arte uniche della band è stato progettato in-house da bassista Martin. Il chitarrista Iain ha curato i loro video musicali.

Il supporto radio per i singoli dei  The Deadline Shakes  che hanno favorito  questa uscita del disco è stato esteso grazie alla presenza  del calibro di BBC Vic Galloway, Steve Lamacq e Tom Robinson insieme a Jim Gellatly (XFM pista Breakout), Roddy Hart e e una serie di DJ nelle stazioni attraverso il mondo. La band è stata anche sostenuta dal The List, The Scottish Sun, Daily Record, Louder Than War, God is in the TV e Artrocker.

The Deadline Shakes hanno suonato in una serie di festival tra cui Wickerman, XpoNorth e Kelburn Garden Party. Hanno musicato per la Tv  ‘People Make Glasgow’ diversi spot televisivi, hanno suonato live ad una  BBC Introducing radio session con Vic Galloway e suonato dal vivo su STV Glasgow     ‘The Riverside Show’.

Lead Tracks: Sweeten the Deal, Frozen Out

Glasgow’s The Deadline Shakes are Greg Dingwall (lead vocals, guitars and keys), Iain McKinstry (guitars and vocals), Martin McLeod (bass), Thomas Booth (drums) and Sam Clark (piano), with Michael Muir (violin) and Kiera Pollock (vocals).

Their debut album ‘Zealots’, produced by Greg in a tiny room in the east end of Glasgow, is the product of three years of hard work following the band’s inception. Greg’s songs are often widescreen in scope, but lucidly lovelorn lyrics give the album a relatably human quality. This is an album recorded on a limited budget that sounds like a large scale, big studio production.

Each band member is a multi-instrumentalist who has a passion bordering on compulsion to create, a drive which underpins everything they do. Even the band’s unique artwork is designed in-house by bass player Martin. Guitarist Iain has edited their music videos.

Radio support for The Deadline Shake’s singles leading up to this album release has been extensive coming from the likes of BBC’s Vic Galloway, Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson together with Jim Gellatly (XFM Breakout track), Roddy Hart and and a range of DJs at stations across the world.  The band have also been championed by The List, The Scottish Sun, Daily Record, Louder Than War, God is in the TV, and Artrocker.

The Deadline Shakes have played a range of festivals including Wickerman, XpoNorth and Kelburn Garden Party. They’ve soundtracked several ‘People Make Glasgow’ TV adverts, played a live BBC Introducing radio session with Vic Galloway and played live on STV Glasgow’s ‘The Riverside Show’.

“I’d described them before as having the lush harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the angular guitar lines of The Strokes, but there is so much more than that.”

Vic Galloway, BBC Introducing Blog

“Really good, a winsome, mandolin-led blast of power-country”
The List 

“Acutely infectious and adorably addictive… a quick A to Z drive by of all your guilty pleasures shoehorned into a sub four minute pop opera sweetie.”
God is in the TV

“This is excellent power-pop. They’re doing fellow Scots, like Teenage Fanclub, proud.”
Obscure Sound

“Three and a bit minutes of perfect, chiming euphony.”
Louder Than War

“Striking melody and glorious harmonies, I just can’t get enough of it.”
Jim Gellatly, The Scottish Sun

“Catchy, bouncy, melodic pop.”
Colin Jackson, Artrocker / Loud Horizon 

“They are one of those bands who cannot help but make music which you long to hear on the car radio, the sort of songs which make you go the long way home so you hear them in full.”
Scots Whay Hae

“Classic pop/rock… could almost be a great ELO song.”
Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net
