Bio
In amongst the manufactured pop drivel, the excitable indier-than-thou new Smiths-elects and the R & B soundalikes you too may have had the good fortune to have stumbled upon something quite special.
Genuinely loved (and a well-kept secret like Teenage Fanclub and early REM) they’re naturally one of the most gorgeous and uplifting bands on the planet. Q magazine suggested that debut album Sugar and Spite was “reminiscent of early REM – really very lovely indeed” whilst MOJO noted that it was “warm-melancholic as Prefab Sprout or icy-isolated as Radiohead” and that the band hurled themselves “from reflection to ripped-up despair in a moment.” The Times allowed that we shouldn’t “be surprised if this Glasgow-born quintet are still selling albums 20 years from now because they have a deadly weapon in their armoury; great songs.”
In January 2013 Unkle Bob are set to release a new EP entitled "Letters EP". It contains four new songs penned by singer-songwriter Rick and marks the return of Unkle Bob as a solo project since Rick parted company with the band in 2011.
