You Already Know
>> Oran Mor
>> 4th June 2006
It’s been a busy year for You Already Know. Since forming in Summer 2005 the boys have been slavishly working on a monumental number of songs, touting their wares round Scotland and creating awe-inspiring levels of epic rock that occasionally register as aftershocks in recently earthquake-ravaged cities the world over.
Tonight’s show is a teaser for YAK’s biggest gig yet – supporting Deftones at Glasgow’s Carling Academy later this month. As a vindication of a band’s determination to generate interesting and thought provoking music there can be no greater reward. And, going by tonight’s performance, YAK is fired up and ready to show the Carling what it’s made of. The set is peppered with golden moments; the heady crunch of ‘Dead Inside’ still packs a punch but it’s the shimmering ‘Crystal Clear’ that steals the limelight. Released in July as the debut single it looks certain to become a staple of Scotland’s rock radio play-lists.
Proving that there is still a place for invention within the four-piece rock template it was only a matter of time before people started taking notice and it looks likely that 2006 could be the year that this new band breaks through the glass ceiling of Glasgow’s music scene and checks to see just how green the grass is on the other side.
You Already Know support Deftones on June 7th 2006.
The single ‘Crystal Clear’ is released through HiJacked Records on July 10th.
