CURRENT AFFAIRS
Glasgow’s Current Affairs marry 80s pop sensibilities with ferocious post-punk.
Singer and keyboardist Joan Sweeney (Aggi Doom, the Royal We) tempts you in with catchy melodies and powerful lyrics. Drummer Andrew Milk (Shopping, Pink Pound) provides nonchalant backing vocals and a solid rhythm section with driving bass from newest band member Gemma Fleet (The Wharves, Order of the Toad). Sebastian Ymai ( Comidllo Tapes, Pissy) completes the ensemble, with intricate chorus laden guitar that will lift you off your feet.
The band's debut album is upcoming on Tough Love Records.
“Glasgow’s Current Affairs have been brewing in the undergrowth for a while, growing snugly into one of the city’s most forceful, eldritch pop groups. Collectively they present a muscular unity, with a pounding post-punk rhythm section augmented by wild, effected guitar and the impressive, soulful-but-gothic vocal.”
“CURRENT AFFAIRS are a sassy, thumping, ’tune after tune’ post-punk party hit-machine. Their queer, goth punk is laden with addictive bass hooks, frantic guitar screeches, bullet punch drum hits, whirring keyboards and commanding calls.”
