Commit to... The Seven Deadly Sins


Sometimes it can all go wrong when taking inspiration from music genres such as punk and (the good bits of) grunge. Luckily Edinburgh lot The Seven Deadly Sins (also the name of a song by Irish punk outfit Flogging Molly, fact fans) have managed to avoid this trap. Aside from keeping the Edinburgh based hairspray and black t-shirt vendors in business, they also create and perform a bevy of extremely well made musical output. For an example please click the big side-ways triangle below...





Plus, anyone who can include closed brackets and the words Awoo woo woo is a winner in our books.  Formed in early 2010, the four man band have since supported the likes of The Damned and have headlined well known Scottish venues such as Liquid Room, King Tut’s and Cabaret Voltaire. On top of all the whoring out to multiple live venues they also took it upon themselves to organise and play a monthly jaunt at our very own Cabaret Voltaire in September last year. Their Deadly Night Out effort went as far as sourcing and (more importantly) caring about their support acts; thumbs up to them. Bands actually caring about who they play a gig with is becoming glaringly uncared for when you look at some gig line-ups... (oooh bitchy etcetc.)

We’ve mentioned at LEAST twice before that we like artists who make an effort with not only the audio but the visuals. See above for a video – yes a proper one, the kind that when you type ‘The Seven Deadly Sins, Edinburgh’ into YouTube it doesn’t come up with some shitey back of the crowd mobile phone filmed effort. They also provide excellent photography output...

One guy never got the black t-shirt memo. Answers on a postcard.


There we are, two lovely examples so far as to how we aren’t liars.

Anyway, for people who enjoy artists such as Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads, a wee bit Elliot Smith, Blind Melon and Teenage Fanclub then we guarantee you will like listening to at least ONE if not ALL of their songs. Coincidently, The Seven Deadly Sins release their EP in June this year and a UK tour is to follow – this is something that as a supposed ‘fan’ of the aforementioned bands you should DEFINATLEY GET INVOLVED IN.
