Harry Miles-Watson & The Union | Off Axis Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 18 February 2024
Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
Harry Miles-Watson & The Union are refreshingly different, incorporating a varied melting pot of genres and styles, with aspects of post-punk, folk, country, rock, pop and even jazz.
Despite being relative newcomers to the live scene, the Edinburgh-based group have already sold out several key venues in the capital, and headlined Glasgow’s King Tuts. They embarked on their first tour last year, with gigs in Manchester, Leeds, and a sold out show in London. To date they’ve been championed by Amazing Radio, Discovery Scotland and online magazine The Edi Mag.
We highly recommend stand-out single I'm Still Straight; a tongue-in-cheek proclamation of pride, exploring the issues surrounding ‘coming out’ in a comedic manner, and their upcoming release Bodies. Featuring singer Ailish Barry it’s an epic duet, packed with symphonic string arrangements and wonderful boy/girl harmonies. The song is released with a launch party at Sneaky Pete’s on 3 March plus support from CRASHKID and Violet Monstera full info and to pre-save visit https://linktr.ee/Harrymileswatson
