Middle Class Guilt | Dragon Soop Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 14 November 2021
Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
Middle Class Guilt are an excellent quintet from Shetland, now based in Glasgow. They’re a welcome breath of fresh air, with a sound that is catchy, melodic, and at times even mildly chaotic, featuring sing-along multi-part harmonies.
Recorded at Glasgow’s Green Door Studio, the band’s EP Middle Class Guilt Perform the Songs of Middle Class Guilt will be released on 18 November (next Thursday), on not-for-profit, DIY label Never Found Records with some physical copies available via BandCamp. Noteworthy singles, Reformed Thornwood and Part Evil, At Least are worth seeking out too.
A definite highlight of the EP, is the self-titled Middle Class Guilt - a scuzzy, three minute pop/rock punk gem, firmly tongue-in-cheek, absolutely fun and a little shambolic. It’s the embodiment of their sound, completed by distorted guitars, a pounding rhythm section and a shout-out-loud chorus. Middle Class Guilt don’t take themselves too seriously, which is why they’re one of our favourite new bands. Listen, buy at https://middleclassguilt.bandcamp.com | Facebook | Instagram | Spotify
