FOR the popular and immensely hard-working trio that we’ve came to know and love as Glasgow’s very own Baby Strange, it seems that that all the puzzle pieces have been falling into place of late.
Attaining substantial Radio 1 airplay, playing sold out shows across the UK and set to embark on a tour with the nation’s fellow high-flyers WHITE in the very near future, we’ve now been provided with a welcome first sample of what can be expected from their proposed debut album.
For anyone that’s well versed in the band’s history, ‘Pure Evil’ is sure to the furthest thing from a never-before-heard piece of music. It’s became a staple of their set, an anthem which epitomises their distinct brand of sleaze-tinged and impassioned punk rock which has grasped hold of the attention of music fans since its arrival nearly three years ago.
What we have before us is a newly refined album version which somehow manages to cast aside the much loved original in favour of a more robust and gripping sound. While the initial recording may hold sentimental value due to its gateway status for those that have been there since their early days, it was only natural that the band’s rise to prominence would be met with new takes on those tracks that helped them make their name in Glasgow’s DIY venues and clubs.
With Baby Strange’s album slated for the extremely vague timeframe of ‘summer’, check out the new version below:
