Glasvegas understand and are influenced by the history of music and not trends, they capture the essential zeitgeist of what makes primal rock'n'roll so appealing and important. They are influenced by originators, not imitators, and that is why their stripped-down, feedback drenched, melodic pop and no-nonsense rock'n'roll has the impact it does. Their wall of sound is under the influence of Phil Spector, Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis, the Smiths, Beach Boys and Elvis Presley, and yet it is completely and absolutely transcendental.
