About Band
Filled with stunning bluesy soul, lyrical genius, and several test tubes of Jägermeister, Smoked Glass are the sound causing a stir on the Scottish unsigned scene.
Based in Edinburgh, John, Colin, Mikey, Kevin and Callum, under the careful guidence of Roddy MacDonald, have stunned audiences across the central belt with their Floyd-esque beauty, drawing audiences to venues such as the world famous Jamhouse, owned and frequented by Jools Holland, and Glasgow's Cathouse, a show which has gone down on record as one of their most stunning.
Having gained recognition from local press and a variety of specialist music websites, their growing following is down to the uniqueness of their music - they sound like nothing you've heard in the last decade. The attraction of new talent with fresh ideas is too much for some to ignore.
You'll be hearing the name a lot in the future so memorise it now, Smoked Glass are the shape of things to come.

"The gig that we filmed at The Cathouse was easily one of the best 'live' performances we have seen in years by any unsigned band. Although this line up has only been together a few months their style, professionalism, musicianship and songwriting is testament that this is one band to keep your eye on!"
