COSMIC ROUGH RIDERS

Creation Records went and Poptones arrived, care of music maverick Mr Alan McGee, and just as his midas touch blessed Oasis, many say that he is about to do it all over again with these fellas.

He has even returned to Glasgow to do it.
The Cosmic's have recently released their incredibly lauded album "Enjoy The Melodic Sunshine", which overall is a stunning mix of psychedelic pop fused with folk rock, bearing all the fabulous hallmarks of west coast melodic guitars and harmony vocals that nod to the likes of The Byrds, The Beach Boys, CSN&Y, Steely Dan and the Beatles.
Considering the feel of the album, it's of interest to note that it was recorded in a converted butchers in the Castlemilk area of Glasgow, which has an unrivalled repuation as a 'watch where your going' area.
Their most noteable fans have turned out to be Paul Weller, Oasis and Courtney Love, who has said they "remind me of REM at their best"
"a thoroughly modern rock 'n' roll record, a future classic"- The Guardian
"beautifully realised"- Mojo, "every track an anthemic high, timeless stuff"- Q magazine
