From Lanark in Bonnie Scotland, Weekend Debt are a fresh new indie band comprising four young, talented and vibrant musicians. Citing Influences such as Catfish and the Bottlemen, Arctic Monkeys, Courteeners and Fatherson, Weekend Debt are garnering a reputation for 'getting the joint jumping' via a set replete with indie tunes influenced by many a night out and the relationships that ensue. Their Scottishness is carried through their songs a la Biffy Clyro, thanks to lead vocalist and guitarist Grant’s husky voice and unashamedly unaltered accent, ably accompanied by lead guitarist Ewan who provides softer, more delicate tones.
With a tightly knit rhythm section, Russell's intense bass vibes compliment well with those powerful drum grooves of drummer Harvey, they're an accomplished outfit despite their relatively tender years.
This shows through well on their eminently listenable and radio friendly single Boyfriend Averse which will be featured on Ralph's Radio KC Indie Show on February 12th (5-7pm GMT).
They've recently been taken on by Dovecot Artist Management, signing a 1-year trial contract.With backing from Chris Beltran at DF Concerts after playing a jam packed King Tuts recently plus an EP in the works; currently being finished off at North Road Studios, and the ensuing launch night set for late March, it's exciting times ahead for Weekend Debt
