Formed of Callum McClune (Vocals, guitars), Greg Leyden (Vocals, guitars), Grant Malcolm (Vocals, bass) and Matt Cowie (Drums) Glasgow TOY MOUNTAINS are extremely pleased to announce that their new EP I Swore I’d Never Speak of This Again will be released on 25thNovember 2016.
With similar vibes to bands like Deftones, Glassjaw, Touche Amore, Reuben and Blakfish, the Scottish progressive alternative rock band with strong math-rock and post-hardcore influences, are dedicated to creating music without boundaries.
The epicentre of the band’s creative direction has one purpose: to evoke emotion. Whether it be happiness, sadness or blackout rage, Toy Mountains ruthlessly ensure that any audience is fully engaged and will leave having gained something memorable from the experience.
Their 2014 debut For A Few Seconds, Came Harmony was followed by the first taste of this caustic new sound on 2016 single I Could Care Less which immediately racked up rock radio support from the likes of Kerrang! Radio, Team Rock and the BBC Radio One Rock Show and adding onto that, the boys new Single ‘Old Friends’ will be premiered on Daniel P Carter’s BBC Radio 1 Rock Show On 16th October 2016.
Commenting on the new record, the band say:
“I Swore I’d Never Speak of This Again is ultimately a culmination of where we all are in our lives – and all the triumphs and anxieties that accompany that. It details our experiences as twenty-somethings attempting to chase and a build a career in something we are all passionate about, whilst simultaneously being uncertain about the future. All of the songs on the record pull in the same direction, rather than being many different parts that are unnaturally forced together.”
