Published in Scotland On Sunday, 7 January 2018 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com [in association with Off Axis] SHREDD Artist of the Week in Scotland On SundayGlasgow satellite towns such as Paisley, Bellshill and Hamilton have long served as talent feeders for acts the Scottish metropolis goes on to claim as its own. In 2018 the Le Corbusier-inspired seat of learning, Cumbernauld, could soon be joining the list thanks to the self-described garage fuzz rock outfit Shredd. The trio kicked off last year with the EP Every Time We Meet I Want To Die, which was followed by the singles Cobra and our favourite, Flight Of Stairs. Moreover, sell-out headline shows along with slots at Stag & Dagger, Tenement Trail and the BBC 6 Music Festival, led to being crowned best newcomer act at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards.Plans are afoot to record a new EP in the spring to be followed by an album and UK tour later in the year. In the meantime, Shredd play Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s on 30 January and Glasgow’s Stereo on 16 February, listen at: https://soundcloud.com/shredd-music Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the Born To Be Wide music industry events and seminars.
