Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read at https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/music
Pandemic permitting, DAYTIME TV hope to embark on an extensive UK tour this Autumn. Touring and performing as Hunter & The Bear - Will Irvine (vocals / guitar), Chris Clark (bass) and Gareth Thompson (drums) built a large and loyal fanbase. After recruiting guitarist John Caddick they began writing more pop-influenced songs and evolved into DAYTIME TV.
Excellent new single Zombie was released with an equally good self-filmed, self-directed music video, watch https://youtu.be/tCzD85obfMg. Zombie has also secured airplay on BBC Introducing in Scotland with Phoebe I-H and Shereen Cutkelvin, as well as featuring on editorial playlists via both Spotify and Apple Music.
