Fusing psychedelic rock’n’roll with pop sensibilites, blistering musicianship and three unique voices Miracle Glass Company, comprising WILLIAM DOUGLAS (vocals / bass), ANDY DUNCAN (vocals / drums) and AUSTEN GEORGE (vocals / guitar), have created a stunning live show. This has won them many admirers including legendary producer Owen Morris (Oasis, The Verve, The View) who after seeing the band performing, insisted on producing their debut album, which has already been described as ‘timeless, a future classic’ by Scottish music guru Jim Gellatly.

With the album ‘MGC 1’ set for release on 14th October 2016 (VoxBox Records) the band are reflecting on a whirlwind year so far which has seen them establish a reputation as one of the best live bands in the country. Having been selected to play at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut for their ‘New Year’s Revolution’ Festival in January, tipping the bands to watch for the year ahead, they have gone on to play London’s legendary Dublin Castle, tour the UK with The Bluetones, fulfil a childhood ambition of playing Liverpool’s spiritual home of music The Cavern Club and take Scotland’s leading music convention XpoNorth by storm (‘The best gig I’ve seen in years’ Vic Galloway), recognised with a well-earned nomination for ‘Best Live Act’ at the SAMA Awards 2016. A triple single release was chosen as an introduction to the forthcoming album, showcasing all 3 members on lead vocals: debut single Higher Than High was released on 3rd May - ‘a psychedelic sun drenched beauty’ Netsounds, Big Beat on 3rd June - ‘ridiculously catchy’ Vic Galloway, and The Hidden Light completing the trilogy on 3rd July – ‘swaggering, direct and pleasingly heads-down’ The List. This generated extensive radio play and positive reviews and was topped off with a headline appearance on the T Break stage at Scotland’s biggest festival T in the Park.

History:

Despite recording their debut EP ‘Turnaround’ before they had written the songs, the title track was named ‘track of the month’ in November 2014 by The Scotsman and was playlisted by BBC Radio’s music maestro Vic Galloway. Having stepped onto the live scene with a last minute show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a slot at Rally & Broad (turning a spoken word night into an all out dance party), the band sold-out their debut headline show in Edinburgh’s illustrious Voodoo Rooms in September. This performance resulted in a blistering live EP released in December 2014, and also drew the attention of producer Owen Morris, who approached the band and insisted that he record their debut album. Live shows then followed in London, Chester, Dundee and beyond at the start of 2015 as the band built their fan base and honed their sound for the studio. Recording started in March 2015 at Cava Studios in Glasgow, and with the finishing touches applied the album is set for release later this year on vinyl-loving VoxBox Records. Summer 2015 saw the band grace the stage of the Hidden Door Festival and Kelburn Garden Party, as well as being invited to perform at the first of Alan McGee’s ‘Creation Sessions’ live shows in Edinburgh, and supporting The Bluetones on their 20th Anniversary UK Tour. This year got off to a flying start with the band supporting the legendary Rezillos at a refugee benefit gig in Edinburgh before heading west to take part in King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut’s New Year’s Revolution Festival, championing the bands to watch in the year ahead. A headline slot at Buskers in Dundee for Independent Music Week and a first gig at the legendary Dublin Castle in London followed. The band were back on tour supporting The Bluetones across the UK in April supporting the release of Higher Than High, and made explosive appearances at the Cavern Club, Meadows Festival and XpoNorth in June following the release of Big Beat. July saw the band on the road again in Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Chester, as well as their T in the Park appearance, supporting the release of The Hidden Light, and they are currently taking a short but well-earned breather in preparation for an extensive UK album tour in October and November.
