Indie/Punk band, ‘Gallus’ are thrashing through the Glasgow music scene at the moment. The band was formed in Glasgow and consists of lead vocalist, Barry Dolan, bassist Craig Duris, drummer Paul Ewins and guitarists, Eamon Ewins and Daniel Blake. Just having released their latest EP, ‘Don’t be Shy’, they have been showcasing their talent throughout many of the music venues in Glasgow such as Stereo, Priory and King Tuts. Just off the back of their first single release in 2018, they have since released two further singles and recently released their latest EP. It is fair to say, they have in no doubt been working hard in the studio. In addition to the well known music venues they have played at, they have also played at Scotlands music discovery festival, ‘Tenement Trail’.
The band are definitely making their mark in the music scene and their latest EP release is showing the progress the act is making. To give a closer insight into a review on the bands latest EP launch, the EP itself consists of 4 songs. The first song on the EP is, ‘Looking Like a Mess’-which was previously released as a single on Spotify, which has an overall upbeat and energetic feel to it. The next song on the EP is ‘Talk’, which is followed up by ‘Leave’, and ‘Split’ which has also previously been released as a single. The first song on the EP (Looking Like a Mess), is an outstanding introduction song for the EP and really makes a statement for the kind of music the band are creating. The song has relatable catchy lyrics, has been well written and incorporated with rhythmic guitar parts and an energetic bass guitar part.In my opinion, ‘Looking Like a Mess’ is the strongest song from the EP and it appears that the bands Spotify followers agree as the song has racked up an enormous 30,000 views in its first month of release.
The band have exciting things coming up, with one of their highlights being their first performance at the new Stag and Dagger multi-venue showcase; where they are set to play alongside acts such as Honeyblood, Ratboy and The Ninth Wave. I have no doubts that they will put on a great gig as they are a band that everybody should be watching out for. Great sounds, great gigs, they are really just gallus!
