I've been listening to the new 1990s single "See You At The Lights" and it's a cool tune. Tight rhythm guitars, fun lyrics and a catchy melody with Paul Weller-like ba ba ba bas circling around the chorus. The single is scheduled for release on CD and 7" vinyl April 16, 2007.
The video for "See You At The Lights" was recently made Video of the Week on PlayLouder. It's a cute animated video that features band members Jackie McKeown, Michael McGaughrin and Jamie McMorrow, but I actually like the song better than the video, which is refreshing. There are a lot of bands out there who's videos are better than their songs which can be a bit of a hindrance - especially when the song comes on the radio without the video...
1990s are from Glasgow, Scotland and they are in great company. I'm not sure what exactly is going on in the water up there in Glasgow, but there have been some excellent bands that I've really been enjoying from the area like Franz Ferdinand (Members from Franz Ferdinand and 1990s were in the now disbanded Glasgow based band The Yummy Fur from the 90's), The Fratellis, The Dykeenies, The Hussys, Dieselbone (now defunct?) and Latonic. It's Glasgowmania!
Noting on their Myspace page as playing music "like a blonde gets out of a car", 1990s are signed to Rough Trade Records in London. Their debut album, Cookies is set for release in May 2007.
