Symbolics

Symbolics formed in Glasgow at the tail end of 2001. At the time they were four naive young men without a record deal but times have changed, now they are five naive young men without a record deal. However, the band have attracted a significant amount of plaudits for their hook-filled, edgy indie pop songs and wry intelligent lyrics.

Symbolics have previously released a single entitled ‘Seen It All Now’ and the ‘50 Words You've Never Heard’ EP. The latter selling out its limited edition run and garnering significant radio play and critical acclaim.

Although happy to acknowledge their influences, at the core of the Symbolics material is the belief that music should be as much fun for the listener as it is for the band. Songs such as ‘Social Dancing’, ‘Kisses Sweeter Than Tonic Wine’ and ‘The Czech Dream’ successfully marry whistleable tunes with rock chops. Indeed, Symbolics are more than happy to use questionable phrases such as "rock chops" and "whistleable" - that's just the kind of selfless beat combo that they are.
