One night in 2014, Ross and his buddies Finlay and Fraser moved from pub to pub, with the idea of belonging to a band in mind. Finlay and Fraser have to surprise a little. Both ways he, the other already agreed to be there. A simple trick that works perfectly on this wet evening. Some E.P.s are checked, but it doesn't really start until Louis joins three years after the life-like pub crawl. The Kerrang magazine, which she
already had on her screen as the “hottest band” in 2019, has now belonged to her
with the setting album.
"Paradise" means singer Ross Gordon, guitarist Finlay Urquhart, bassist Louis Craighead and player Fraser Allan their first longplayer and that the opener density of the material The drama that is in the songs of the cold years is about an entire generation on the abyss, in the empire shaken by Brexit and political elite. "It sucks to be Scots," said Irvine Welsh of his tragic hero Renton in "Trainspotting". The closer
the opponent shows, the fight can be. Cold years lead him with musical terms and offer a soundtrack in vigorous songs like "Breathe", the "Burn The House Down" set off by chorus choirs or the irresistibly melodious "Dropout", despite all resistance, after rebellion, new shores, a new life tastes. Where are all the new guitar bands, if you need them, some may have heard longer.
Stylistically, the punk primer is hard to miss. "I grew up with Rancid and Green Day, bands like Bad Religion and the Ramones meant a real explosion for me," said Gordon about his personal characteristics. Their gesture may well be found in the songs of his band, but as clearly as the 31-year-old denies the relationship to Scottish greats such as Big Country, there is still such a typical Scottish melody element that melodies the songs with melancholy and wide melodies over the mere punk context, instead they taste the spirit of Hot Water Music or Nothington with an undeniable stadium compatibility. It may take an album until then, but then you will definitely ask yourself the question from the beginning: Where were you when you heard Cold Years for the first time? Here is the answer, in "Paradise", in a place full
of fire, passion and rock’n’roll.
