Sneaky Pete's

Part of a longer lineage than the garage-dubstep continuum, they play “electronic soul from the heart”, citing influences from the ’60s (Stubborn Heart is an old northern soul track) and ’80s synth-pop, as well as ’90s techno, house and garage.

Blood Relatives are a Glaswegian band who play songs in an effort to make you dance, and make you think. None of them are related to each other, but they’ve all got pop music running in their veins. And like Elvis said, when you have rhythm you have it all over.

Having played music together for a number of years, the band release their first record in the Autumn of 2013. The music blends a uniquely Scottish sense of humour with a sunny sound, because they like to be upbeat to detract from the dreary weather of their hometown.

Blood Relatives would like to welcome you to the family.
