Sucioperro are surely one of the most underrated, hard-working bands to have emerged from the Scottish music scene. Formed in 2002, the three-piece from Ayrshire have produced three albums, the most recent The Heart String & How To Pull It released only last month. After playing a string of dates around the UK, they return to Glasgow to headline The Arches.
Unlike their contemporaries Biffy Clyro, Sucioperro have so far evaded the mainstream, yet have built up a loyal following nonetheless. Following an energetic warm-up from post-hardcore band Carnivores, the crowd are buzzing. Kicking...
I love a good accent on a song. More specifically a Scottish accent, and even more specifically a West of Scotland accent; basically, if you’re from one of the Scottish towns that I can reach from Glasgow Central, I’m going to like your voice.
So imagine my joy when I hit play on the first track of this EP (or single as its described on the band’s website) and a braw Ayrshire accent filled my room. That voice belongs to JP Reid, Sucioperro’s lead singer, in addition to being one half of duo Marmaduke Duke with another dulcet toned Ayrshire lad, Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil.
My joy...
