SATURDAY’S SCOTTISH SONG : #343: THERE WILL BE FIREWORKS

2014-02-therewillbefireworks

Much of today’s info comes from elsewhere on t’internet:-

There Will Be Fireworks (TWBF) was formed in 2008 by Glasgow schoolmates Nicholas McManus, Adam Ketterer, Gibran Farrah, and David Madden.  A self-titled debut album was released in July 2009 and was followed up by the Because Because EP in December 2011, both on their own label, The Imaginary Kind.

In 2012, they signed to Comets & Cartwheels, for whom they recorded and released the album The Dark, Dark, Bright in November 2013, since which point things have been very quiet.

I’ve only one song in the collection, and it comes courtesy of its inclusion on a compilation CD Avalanche Records Alternative Christmas, which was pulled together ( think in 2009) by an Edinburgh label/record with the proceeds going to some local charities.

I’ve now discovered that the track also appeared on the above mentioned Because Because EP.

Those who wrote about TWBF often cited Frightened Rabbit as an occasional influence, and listening to this track, I can see why.
