Members of Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, Arab Strap, Snow Patrol Form Scottish Supergroup

You could almost make a full set of teeth from them
After a few drinks we all got talking and I said that we should all make a record together. Everyone thought it was a great idea but I'm sure they were thinking, "Aye, right, Gary, whatever," and that I'd forget about it when I had sobered up. In fact, the next day I wrote the complete album."

After his uniquely constructive hangover remedy netted an album's worth of songs, Lightbody secured a deal for the collective with Belfast-based Bright Star Recordings, and the album, titled Y'all Get Scared Now, Ya Hear was recorded in Glasgow over ten days. The album will be released in the States on September 25th on PIASAmerica.

Gary Lightbody and Jonny Quinn (Snow Patrol)
Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap)
Willie Campbell, Charlie Clarke, Gareth Russell and Michael Bannister (Astrid)
